Based on the way you configure the plugin, additional requests will be made periodically to refresh the cached data. When making requests to a third party server in general, the server will receive and may record the IP address of the server hosting your website. Please consult the privacy details and terms of use of each server you are embedding content from.( Example for mastodon.social: [About Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/privacy-policy), [Privacy policy](https://mastodon.social/privacy-policy)) ### Development The complete source code for this plugin, including unminified JavaScript and SCSS files, is publicly available on GitHub: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-embeds-wordpress-plugin To build the plugin from source you will need Node.js (v18+) and npm.
