External Services
This plugin connects to external services in two situations:
1. EasyEmbed Dashboard (easyembed.io)
When you configure a Dashboard URL in the plugin settings and use the id attribute in a shortcode, the plugin connects to the EasyEmbed service at easyembed.io.
What data is sent and when:
- The embed ID and your API key are sent to retrieve the document URL and display settings each time a shortcode is rendered on a page.
- The embed’s public ID is sent to record a view count each time a visitor loads a page with a managed embed.
- Your API key is sent to retrieve your list of embeds in the WordPress admin panel.
No data is sent to easyembed.io when using direct URL embeds (the url attribute), or when no Dashboard URL is configured in the plugin settings.
2. Microsoft Office Online Viewer (view.officeapps.live.com)
When embedding Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), or PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) files using a direct URL, the plugin constructs an iframe pointing to Microsoft’s free Office Online viewer service.
What data is sent and when:
- The publicly accessible URL of the document file is passed as a query parameter to
view.officeapps.live.comin the iframesrcattribute, each time a visitor loads a page with that embed. The document URL is sent to Microsoft’s servers so their viewer can fetch and display the file.
This service is provided by Microsoft. No personal user data is sent — only the document URL.

FAQ

[easyembed id="1"] -
