External Services

This plugin uses external services as follows:

Google Maps API

When a Google Maps API key is configured in the plugin settings, the plugin loads the Google Maps JavaScript API to display location maps for events.

  • What data is sent: Event location addresses (only when viewing events with locations)
  • When: The API is loaded when viewing pages that display the agenda with events containing location information
  • Service provider: Google LLC
  • Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/maps/terms
  • Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Note: Google Maps integration is optional. The plugin works without an API key, but maps will not be displayed.
