<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin itself does not collect or store any personal data. However, when the widget is displayed on the frontend, visitors’ browsers load the widget script from the Meteoprog CDN, which receives standard request information (IP address, User-Agent, Referrer).
The CDN may also set technical cookies required for content delivery or security. These cookies are managed by Meteoprog and are subject to their privacy policy.
This plugin adds a suggested section to WordPress’s default Privacy Policy page, explaining what data is transmitted when widgets are displayed.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Meteoprog services to display widgets.
<ol>
<li>
https://billing.meteoprog.com — used by the plugin to fetch your informer list via a secure API request (Authorization header with your informer API key and site domain).
</li>
<li>
https://cdn.meteoprog.net — the visitor’s browser loads a small JavaScript file from the Meteoprog CDN to render the widgets. As with any CDN, the visitor’s IP address and browser information are transmitted as part of the HTTPS request. This is standard browser behavior.

**Global Weather Pro is a powerful and easy-to-use WordPress plugin that delivers true hyper-local weather forecasts and critical weather alerts. Unlike other tools that default to the nearest city, Global Weather Pro uses the precise GPS coordinates of an address, providing a forecast and alerts for that exact location. To offer maximum flexibility, Global Weather Pro includes two distinct widgets optimized for different placements: a comprehensive header widget and a compact sidebar widget. Effortlessly display current conditions, detailed 7-day forecasts, and severe weather alerts to keep your visitors informed and engaged. Perfect for any website, Global Weather Pro offers precision and flexibility to ensure an enhanced user experience, now featuring stunning, AI-generated animated images for all 38 weather conditions in the widget’s header. All weather data and alerts are sourced from Weatherbit, a well-known and trusted weather provider, ensuring reliable and professional-grade forecasts you can count on. Global Weather Pro handles all API communications through our dedicated service, meaning you get reliable data from top providers like Weatherbit without needing to sign up for, manage, or pay for your own API keys.
