</ul>
<h4>Third-Party Service Usage</h4>
HuxxConnect does not phone home, collect telemetry, or send any data to Huxx & Co or any third party.
When you configure an API connection in HuxxConnect, the plugin makes HTTP requests to the external API endpoints that you specify. All API URLs, credentials, headers, and request parameters are configured entirely by you. These requests are made using the WordPress HTTP API (<code>wp_safe_remote_request()</code>), which provides built-in SSRF protection.
Google Favicon Service: When you add or import an API, HuxxConnect attempts to fetch a favicon for the API’s base URL. As part of this process, the plugin may make a server-side request to Google’s S2 favicon service (<code>https://www.google.com/s2/favicons</code>) to retrieve a high-resolution icon. The only data sent is the API’s root domain name (e.g., <code>api.example.com</code>). No user data, credentials, or site information is transmitted. This service is subject to <a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google’s Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.
You are responsible for reviewing the terms of service and privacy policies of any external APIs you connect to through this plugin.
