External Services
This plugin connects to Google Fonts (provided by Google LLC) for optional typography in blocks.
What it is used for
- In the block editor, the font family control loads a list of Google Font family names so authors can choose a font for a block.
- On the front end, when a block uses a Google Font (not a system font), the plugin loads the font stylesheet so visitors see the selected typography.
What data is sent and when
- Editor: When an author opens a block sidebar font control, the editor requests https://fonts.google.com/metadata/fonts to load the public Google Fonts catalog. No personal user data is sent.
- Front end: When a page containing a block with a Google Font is viewed, the visitor’s browser requests https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2 for the selected font family. Google may receive the visitor’s IP address and browser information as with any third-party stylesheet request. This only happens when a block is configured to use a Google Font.
