• Workbox CDN (storage.googleapis.com)

  • Purpose: Loads Google’s Workbox service worker library so the offline cache and routing strategies can function.
  • What is sent and when: The browser downloads a static JavaScript file (workbox-sw.js) when the service worker is installed/updated. No user data is sent by this plugin as part of that request.

• WordPress.com MShots (s0.wp.com)

  • Purpose: Generates a screenshot (thumbnail) of your site’s start page used by the plugin for the offline fallback page background and for certain preview/icon generation cases.
  • What is sent and when: The browser requests a static image from https://s0.wp.com/mshots/v1/ with your site URL included in the query string plus viewport parameters. As with any HTTP request, the visitor’s IP address and user agent are sent by the browser to the CDN. No additional user-specific data is sent by this plugin.

  • Provider: GeoJS. Website/Docs: https://www.geojs.io/ — Privacy: https://www.geojs.io/privacy/

  • Provider: OneSignal. Terms: https://onesignal.com/terms-of-service — Privacy: https://onesignal.com/privacy

  • Provider: Webpushr. Terms: https://www.webpushr.com/terms-of-service — Privacy: https://www.webpushr.com/privacy-policy

• Freemius Checkout (checkout.freemius.com)

Notes:
– OneSignal and Webpushr integrations are conditional and only load if those plugins are active on your site.
