The widget does not collect any personal user data. It only fetches exchange rates.

Yes. The plugin downloads exchange-rate data from remote services when you enable a rate source.

No. It does not include any analytics or visitor tracking.

When a source is enabled, the plugin connects to one of these services to get rate data:

CRToday Currency Proxy: https://crtoday.fex.to/

CurrencyRate.Today: https://currencyrate.today/

The plugin requests new rate data when:

a page with a currency block is viewed and the stored rates have expired;

you manually refresh rates in the plugin settings.

When checking for new rates, the plugin sends a standard web request containing the selected source and the currencies you chose. It receives rate numbers and timestamps in return. No visitor data is sent. As with any web request, your server’s IP address is visible to the service.

For the default service, review the Terms of Service (https://crtoday.fex.to/terms.html) and Data Disclaimer (https://crtoday.fex.to/disclaimer.html).

Reach out to us via our support page. We’re happy to review new sources and will do our best to make them available in the plugin whenever possible.
