<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to an external service to fetch live currency exchange rates.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Service Used</strong>: ExchangeRate-API (https://open.er-api.com/)</li>
<li><strong>Purpose</strong>: To retrieve up-to-date currency exchange rates for the converter.</li>
<li><strong>Data Sent</strong>: The base currency code (e.g., USD, EUR) in each request. No personal or identifiable user data is sent.</li>
<li><strong>Data Received</strong>: Exchange rates for multiple currencies, displayed in the converter widget/shortcode.</li>
