External services
This plugin uses the following third-party services.
Gravatar
This plugin may use Gravatar to display avatar images for WordPress users in the chat admin interface. The service is provided by Automattic.
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.

Google Fonts
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.
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.
