External Services

This plugin creates direct links to third-party social media and messaging platforms when users click on chat buttons. The plugin itself does not send any data to these services – it simply generates URLs that users can choose to visit.

When a visitor clicks on a chat button, they will be redirected to the respective external service based on the contact information you’ve configured. This happens client-side in the user’s browser.

Important Notes:

1. No automatic data transmission: This plugin does not automatically send any data to these services. Links are only activated when users voluntarily click on them.

2. You control what’s shared: As the site administrator, you configure which platforms to use and what contact information (username, phone number, email) to include in the links.

3. User consent: When users click a chat button, they are consciously choosing to open that platform and are subject to that platform’s privacy policy and terms of service.

4. Local storage only: All plugin settings and contact information are stored only in your WordPress database. Nothing is transmitted to external servers except when users click the chat buttons.

Privacy Policy

This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your website visitors. All contact information is stored locally in your WordPress database and never shared with third parties by the plugin itself.

GDPR Compliance:

This plugin is fully GDPR compliant:

• No cookies: The plugin does not set any cookies or use browser storage to track users
• No personal data collection: We don’t collect, process, or store any personal information from your visitors
• No tracking: No analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party scripts are loaded by this plugin
• Local data only: All settings and configurations are stored locally in your WordPress database
• User control: Visitors have full control – they choose whether to click chat buttons and share information with external platforms
• Transparent: All external service connections are documented above and happen only with explicit user action
• Right to erasure: Uninstalling the plugin removes all data from your database (if clean uninstall option is enabled)

When visitors click on chat buttons, they are redirected to the respective social media platforms based on your configured contact information. Any data sharing at that point is governed by the privacy policies of those external platforms, and users are making an informed choice to use those services.
