EXTERNAL SERVICES

This plugin integrates with Instagram to embed posts directly into WordPress content blocks.

It uses Instagram’s official JavaScript embed script, which is loaded from https://www.instagram.com/embed.js.

What data is sent and when:

• When a page containing the Instagram embed block is viewed, the plugin loads Instagram’s embed script to render the post.
• This may send user-related information such as IP address, browser details, and referrer headers to Instagram’s servers.
• No personal data is collected or stored by this plugin itself.

Why:

The script is required to render Instagram posts correctly within the block.
