</code></pre>
To customize the accent color:
<pre><code>[livepolls slug="best-cuisine" accent="#3B82F6"]<h3>External services</h3>
</code></pre>
This plugin embeds an iframe from livepolls.com when an embedded poll is rendered on a page. The iframe runs in the visitor’s browser and communicates with livepolls.com to fetch the poll, submit votes, and stream live result updates. In the block editor, the plugin also checks the configured poll slug against livepolls.com so editors can see whether the poll exists before publishing.
Service: LivePolls (livepolls.com) 
What is sent:
<ul>
<li>The poll slug you configure in the shortcode or block</li>
<li>When a visitor votes: their selected option, vote payload, anonymized duplicate-vote metadata (cookie + hashed IP), and a <code>source</code> value of <code>embed</code> for channel attribution</li>
<li>The visitor’s standard HTTP request metadata (user agent, language, IP address)</li>
</ul>
What is received:
<ul>
<li>The poll question, options, current vote counts, and live update events via WebSocket</li>
</ul>
When data is sent:
During page render for a visitor viewing a page that contains the <code>[livepolls]</code> shortcode or LivePolls Gutenberg block, during vote submission, and when an editor enters a poll slug in the block sidebar so the plugin can confirm the poll exists. The plugin does not collect any data from the site owner.
