This plugin connects to the CoinGecko API (https://www.coingecko.com/) to retrieve live cryptocurrency price data that is displayed on the website via shortcodes.
The plugin sends HTTP GET requests to the CoinGecko API when the shortcode is rendered on the frontend or when price data is refreshed. The requests may include cryptocurrency identifiers and currency parameters required to fetch the relevant price information.
No personal user data is sent to CoinGecko. The API requests are made server-side using WordPress HTTP functions.
