<p><strong>Image Hotspots by Pleaseup</strong> is a responsive <strong>image hotspot</strong> plugin that lets you add <strong>interactive image maps</strong>, <strong>tooltips</strong>, and <strong>annotations</strong> to any image with a visual drag & drop editor.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin contacts third-party services in two distinct flows. Both flows are triggered only by an authenticated editor (with <code>edit_posts</code>) pasting a URL inside a tooltip; no data leaves the site automatically.</p>
<p><strong>Server-side oEmbed resolution</strong> (<code>wp_oembed_get</code>)</p>
<p>When the editor pastes a URL from one of the supported oEmbed providers into a tooltip, the plugin calls the provider’s oEmbed endpoint server-side via WordPress core’s <code>wp_oembed_get()</code> to retrieve the embed HTML. The URL pasted by the editor is sent to the provider; no other data is sent. Supported providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube — Terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Vimeo — Terms: https://vimeo.com/terms — Privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy</li>
<li>Spotify — Terms: https://www.spotify.com/legal/end-user-agreement/ — Privacy: https://www.spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy/</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Client-side iframe rendering</strong></p>
<p>When a tooltip containing an oEmbed iframe is opened on a public page, the visitor’s browser loads the iframe directly from the provider’s CDN (e.g. <code>youtube.com</code>, <code>player.vimeo.com</code>, <code>open.spotify.com</code>). This is standard browser behavior for any embedded media; the plugin does not add any tracking on top.</p>
<p>The set of allowed iframe hosts is filterable via the <code>wphs_allowed_iframe_hosts</code> filter. Hosts not in the allowlist are stripped from tooltip HTML on save.</p>
