The service is provided by Automattic.<\/p>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>Gravatar terms of service: https:\/\/wordpress.com\/tos\/\nAutomattic privacy policy: https:\/\/automattic.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n<h4>Google Fonts<\/h4>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>Google Fonts privacy FAQ: https:\/\/fonts.google.com\/faq#privacy\nGoogle privacy policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\nGoogle terms of service: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms<\/p>\n\n<h3>Source Code<\/h3>\n\n<p>The plugin source code is included in this package in human-readable PHP, CSS, and JavaScript files.
