External Services
This plugin connects to the G Online SMS gateway to send SMS messages and check account balance. This is a third-party service operated by G Online Sites.
What data is sent and when
- When sending an SMS — the recipient’s phone number, the message text, your Sender ID, and your API key are transmitted to the gateway. This happens every time an SMS is triggered (user registration, WooCommerce order status change, form submission, manual send, etc.).
- When checking balance — only your API key is sent. This happens each time the plugin dashboard page is loaded.
No data is sent without your action
No data is ever transmitted unless you have entered a valid API key in the plugin settings. The plugin makes no external calls on the front end of your website.
