<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to Gravatar to display user avatars as a fallback when no custom avatar has been uploaded.</p>
<ul>
<li>What the service is and what it is used for: Gravatar is a globally recognized avatar service operated by Automattic. The plugin uses WordPress core’s <code>get_avatar()</code> / <code>get_avatar_url()</code> to render an avatar image for an author when the user has not uploaded a custom avatar via this plugin.</li>
<li>What data is sent and when: a SHA-256 hash of the user’s email address is sent to gravatar.com each time an author avatar needs to be rendered (front-end author box, admin user list, onboarding screen). No raw email, name, or IP address is transmitted by the plugin itself; the request is performed by the visitor’s browser when the avatar URL is loaded.</li>
<li>Service provider: Automattic Inc.</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://wordpress.com/tos/</li>

Link in Bio Creator – Social


Social is the simplest and most intuitive tool I've found for setting up a link in bio page on my WordPress sites. I've tried quite a few plugin non-WP tools but they've always been missing something.Social feels like the most complete solution I've come across so far (especially with the premium version) and I'd have no problem recommending it to anyone looking for a self-hosted bio link page.
