GroupCal is an external service that hosts the calendar data and provides the web application. This embedding and loading are achieved by using iframes. The purpose of these connections is to display the user’s calendar data on their website and allow them to manage their calendars directly from their WordPress admin panel. * **Calendar Embedding (Public Display):** The URL of the GroupCal calendar, as configured by the user in the shortcode or block attributes, is sent to GroupCal’s servers every time a page containing the embedded calendar is loaded by a website visitor. * **Admin Web Application (Management):** When an administrator accesses the GroupCal settings page within the WordPress admin interface, the full GroupCal web application is loaded within an iframe. This allows the administrator to fully interact with GroupCal, including creating new calendars, adding and editing events, and managing their account. **This means that all data entered and actions performed within the GroupCal web application while in the WordPress admin interface are subject to GroupCal’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.** Please note that GroupCal may independently collect usage data from visitors to the embedded calendar and from administrators using the web application within WordPress, governed by their own policies. * GroupCal Terms of Service: https://www.groupcal.app/terms/ * GroupCal Privacy Policy: https://www.groupcal.app/privacy-policy/ ## Screenshots [⌊Backend app – admin panel⌉⌊Backend app – admin panel⌉[ Backend app – admin panel [⌊The calendar on your website⌉⌊The calendar on your website⌉[ The calendar on your website [⌊Mobile app on your audience's devices⌉⌊Mobile app on your audience's devices⌉[ Mobile app on your audience’s devices ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * GroupCal Calendar ## Installation 1.
