External Services

This plugin connects to the following third-party services:

IP-API.com (GeoIP Service)

This plugin connects to IP-API.com to obtain geographic location information (country, region, city) for website visitors. It’s needed to display visitor location data in the analytics dashboard.

It sends the visitor’s IP address to IP-API.com when a new visitor is tracked. This data is cached locally for 24 hours to minimize API calls, so the IP address is sent only once per unique visitor or when the cache expires. The location information is then stored locally in your WordPress database.

This API service is provided by “IP-API.com”: terms of use privacy policy

FlagCDN.com (Country Flag Images)

This plugin connects to FlagCDN.com to display country flag icons in the admin dashboard next to visitor location information. It’s needed to provide a visual representation of visitor countries in the analytics interface.

It sends the two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format, e.g., “us”, “gb”, “de”) in the image URL request when the admin dashboard or visitor list pages are loaded. No personal information, IP addresses, or visitor data is sent to FlagCDN.com. The country code is derived from the visitor’s location data that was previously obtained from IP-API.com and stored locally in your database. Flag images are loaded only when an administrator views the LiveVisi dashboard or visitor list pages in the WordPress admin area. The images are not loaded on the public-facing website.

This API service is provided by FlagCDN.com . The Privacy & Policy and terms of use

Privacy & Data Collection

What Data is Collected:

This plugin collects the following information from website visitors:

• IP Address: Used to identify unique visitors and determine geographic location (country, region, city) via IP-API.com service. IP addresses are stored in the database.

• User Behavior: Scroll depth, clicks, and session duration.
• Traffic Source: Referrer information, UTM parameters, and traffic source detection (search engines, social media, direct visits).
• Local Storage: A unique visitor ID is stored in the browser’s local Storage to identify returning visitors.
• WordPress User Information (Logged-in Users Only): For visitors who are logged into WordPress, the plugin may collect and store their WordPress user email address and display name. This information is only collected for logged-in WordPress users and is used to identify registered users in the analytics dashboard. This data is not collected for anonymous/guest visitors.

How Data is Used:
