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.
