External services

This plugin relies on the FloatMessage service (floatmessage.com) to deliver floating messages and live chat functionality.

What data is sent and when

• Embed script — When a page loads on your site, the plugin loads a JavaScript file from https://floatmessage.com/embed/floatmessage.js to render your configured floating messages and chat widget. Your Message ID and User ID are passed as data attributes on the script tag.
• Account status check — When an admin visits the plugin settings page, the plugin sends your User ID to https://floatmessage.com/api/wp-status to check your plan/trial status. This response is cached for 4 hours.
• Live chat — When visitors use the chat widget, messages are transmitted to FloatMessage servers in real time.

No visitor data is stored in your WordPress database. All message and chat data is managed on FloatMessage servers.
