Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

External services
com, a free, public, third-party API that provides the current Argentine “Dollar Blue” exchange rate. It is needed to show the up-to-date rate in the floating bubble and in the [dolar_blue_bubble_rate] shortcode.
What is sent: no personal data, cookies, or user identifiers are sent. The plugin performs a plain, unauthenticated HTTP GET request to https://dolarapi.com/v1/dolares/blue to retrieve the current buy/sell rate.
When it is sent: whenever the cached rate has expired (the cache duration is configurable in the plugin’s settings, 20 minutes by default) and a page where the bubble or the shortcode is used is visited.
Response caching: the response is cached using WordPress transients to avoid querying the API on every page load.
com (an open-source project): Legal notice / Terms. com does not publish a separate privacy policy, as it is an unauthenticated, read-only API that does not require or process personal data from visitors of sites using it.
