<h4>Legal Notice</h4>
<p>This plugin displays headlines, short descriptions and images from original articles and always links back to the source. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure compliance with the terms of service of each RSS feed they aggregate.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin fetches RSS feeds from URLs configured by the site administrator. This is the core function of the plugin.</p>
<h4>RSS Feeds</h4>
<p>When fetching a feed, the plugin sends a standard HTTP GET request to the feed URL configured by the administrator. This request includes your server IP address and a browser user-agent string. No personal data of your site visitors is ever transmitted. Feeds are always fetched server-side, never client-side.</p>
<p>Feeds are fetched automatically at the interval set in the plugin settings (default: 30 minutes) and cached in your WordPress database.</p>
<p>The plugin ships with a few example RSS feeds for demonstration purposes only. These are all standard, publicly available RSS feeds. The administrator can remove, replace or add any feed at any time. The plugin has no affiliation with any of the default example feed sources.</p>
<h4>Google Fonts (optional)</h4>
<p>If the administrator selects a Google Font in the Design settings, the plugin enqueues that font from fonts.googleapis.com. This causes the visitor’s browser to connect to Google’s servers, sending the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent to Google.</p>
<p>To avoid this entirely, select “System default” in the typography settings — no external font resources will be loaded.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://fonts.google.com/attribution</li>
</ul>
<h4>Image Proxy (optional)</h4>
<p>If the image proxy is enabled, the plugin fetches images from external domains and stores them in your WordPress uploads folder. This is a server-to-server request only — no visitor data is involved in this process.</p>
