External Services
This plugin communicates with external servers to fetch XML feed content that you explicitly configure. No data is sent to any third party.
Feed Fetching
- What data is sent: An HTTP GET request is made to the feed URL you provide. No user-identifiable information, WordPress credentials, or personal data is included in the request.
- Service provider: The server hosting the XML feed URL you configure (varies per user).
- When it occurs: When you click Validate in the Import Wizard, when you run a manual import, or when a scheduled cron import fires.
- Privacy Policy: No privacy policy is required from third-party services since no user data is transmitted.
Image Downloading
- What data is sent: An HTTP GET request is made to the image URLs found in your configured XML feed. No user-identifiable information is included.
- Service provider: The server hosting the images referenced in your XML feed.
- When it occurs: Only when the “Download Images” option is enabled for a feed and an import is running.
