<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the following external services:</p>
<h4>WordPress.org Events API</h4>
<p>This plugin uses the WordPress.org Events API to retrieve WordPress community events (meetups, WordCamps) near the user’s location. The user’s configured location and locale are sent to the API when the dashboard widget is loaded or when the location is updated in the settings page.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: <a href="https://api.wordpress.org/events/1.0/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress.org Events API</a></li>
<li>Data sent: city/location name, user locale, and timezone</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>RSS feeds</h4>
<p>This plugin fetches RSS feeds from URLs configured by the site administrator. By default it includes feeds from wordpress.org, ma.tt, make.wordpress.org, and ayudawp.com, but administrators can add, remove, or change feeds in the settings page. Feed content is cached locally for the configured cache duration.</p>
<ul>
<li>Data sent: standard HTTP requests to the configured feed URLs</li>
<li>No personal user data is transmitted to the feed providers</li>
</ul>
