### External services

This plugin can connect to external services depending on which review source you
choose. No external requests are made for Custom reviews created and stored inside
your own WordPress site.

#### WordPress.org

If you use WordPress.org as the review source, the plugin fetches review feeds/pages
and plugin rating data from WordPress.org so it can display reviews and aggregate
ratings.

It sends the selected plugin or theme slug in the request URL and includes your 
site’s home URL in the standard WordPress user-agent header when reviews are fetched,
refreshed, or re-cached.

 Privacy policy:

#### Google Maps Platform (Places API)

If you use Google Reviews as the source and enter a Google API key, the plugin sends
the configured Google Place ID to the Google Places API so it can fetch reviews,
rating totals, place name, and related place URLs.

Requests are made when the reviews are first fetched and again whenever the cache
expires or you manually clear the plugin cache. Google also receives your site’s
home URL in the standard WordPress user-agent header.

Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/maps/terms
 Privacy policy: https://
policies.google.com/privacy

#### Yelp Fusion API

If you use Yelp as the review source and enter a Yelp API key, the plugin sends 
the configured Yelp business ID to the Yelp Fusion API so it can fetch business 
reviews, rating totals, business name, and related Yelp URLs.

Requests are made when the reviews are first fetched and again whenever the cache
expires or you manually clear the plugin cache. Yelp also receives your site’s home
URL in the standard WordPress user-agent header.
