## Description

**Nimesh Support Chat** is a lightweight live chat plugin for WordPress that facilitates
direct communication between site visitors and administrators. It features a secure
OTP-based login system for visitors and a dedicated dashboard for admins.

### Key Features

 * **Secure Visitor Access:** Visitors authenticate via Name and Email using a One-
   Time Password (OTP) sent to their email.
 * **Real-Time Communication:** AJAX-based polling ensures messages are delivered
   and received instantly.
 * **Media Support:** Both users and admins can upload and send images within the
   chat.
 * **Admin Dashboard:** A dedicated “Chat” menu in the WordPress admin area to manage
   all active conversations.
 * **User Management:** Admins can search for users and block/unblock them as needed.
 * **Customization:** Upload a custom Chat Logo and set a custom Welcome Message.
 * **Status Indicators:** Real-time online/offline status updates for users.

### External services

This plugin uses the following third-party services.

#### Gravatar

This plugin may use Gravatar to display avatar images for WordPress users in the
chat admin interface. The service is provided by Automattic.

When the chat admin page is loaded, WordPress may generate Gravatar image URLs for
the current administrator and for chat users whose email address matches a registered
WordPress user. When those avatar images are loaded by the browser, Gravatar may
receive the hashed email address used for the avatar lookup, the visitor’s IP address,
browser user agent, and request details needed to serve the image. Chat message 
content is not sent to Gravatar by this plugin.

#### Google Fonts

This plugin loads the Poppins font from Google Fonts for the frontend chat widget
and the admin chat interface. The service is provided by Google.

When a page that displays the chat widget or chat admin interface is loaded, the
visitor’s browser requests the font stylesheet and font files from Google. Google
may receive the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent, requested font URL, and
request details needed to serve the font files. Chat names, email addresses, messages,
and uploaded chat media are not sent to Google Fonts by this plugin.
