<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services in two situations:</p>
<h4>1. EasyEmbed Dashboard (easyembed.io)</h4>
<p>When you configure a Dashboard URL in the plugin settings and use the <code>id</code> attribute in a shortcode, the plugin connects to the EasyEmbed service at <a href="https://easyembed.io" rel="nofollow ugc">easyembed.io</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The embed ID and your API key are sent to retrieve the document URL and display settings each time a shortcode is rendered on a page.</li>
<li>The embed’s public ID is sent to record a view count each time a visitor loads a page with a managed embed.</li>
<li>Your API key is sent to retrieve your list of embeds in the WordPress admin panel.</li>
</ul>
<p>No data is sent to easyembed.io when using direct URL embeds (the <code>url</code> attribute), or when no Dashboard URL is configured in the plugin settings.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://easyembed.io/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">EasyEmbed Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://easyembed.io/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">EasyEmbed Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>2. Microsoft Office Online Viewer (view.officeapps.live.com)</h4>
<p>When embedding Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), or PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) files using a direct URL, the plugin constructs an iframe pointing to Microsoft’s free Office Online viewer service.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The publicly accessible URL of the document file is passed as a query parameter to <code>view.officeapps.live.com</code> in the iframe <code>src</code> attribute, each time a visitor loads a page with that embed. The document URL is sent to Microsoft’s servers so their viewer can fetch and display the file.</li>
</ul>
<p>This service is provided by Microsoft. No personal user data is sent — only the document URL.</p>

<p>Easily embed documents supported by Google Docs (PDF/DOC/DOCX/PPTX/etc)with a simple shortcode <code>[gviewer]</code></p>
<p>Ex. [gviewer file=”https://example.com/thisismyfile.pdf”]</p>
<p>A full list of attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>file</code> — <strong>Required</strong>. The URL of the file you wish to show</li>
<li><code>width</code> — Optional. The desired width of the viewer in pixels. If no width is set, the value of the theme’s <code>$content_width</code> will be used. If no value is set, the width will default to 600 px.</li>
<li><code>height</code> — Optional. The desired height of the viewer in pixels. If height is set, the height will 1.2 times the width. For example, if the width is 100 px, the height will be 120 px.</li>

</ul>
<p>Another way to embed a Google Document is by using the template tag provided by the plugin in the source code. Here’s an example:</p>
<pre><code><?php

echo simple_gviewer_embed( 'https://.../file.pdf', $args );
</code></pre>
<p>The second argument, <code>$args</code>, is an associative array. Keys can be found in the list above.</p>
