External services
This plugin connects to external services to authenticate with Google and to retrieve analytics data for display inside WordPress. These connections are only used if you choose to enable the relevant features.
To connect a Google account, the plugin uses a SiteStats-hosted authentication service. When you click “Connect Google”, your site is redirected to this service to complete the Google OAuth 2.0 login. During this process, your site URL, a return URL, and a temporary state value are sent to securely complete the authentication. After a successful login, a temporary authorization code is returned to your WordPress site to establish the connection.
This service is operated by the plugin author.
Terms of Service | Privacy Policy
Once connected, the plugin communicates directly with Google APIs to retrieve Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console data. When dashboards or widgets are loaded, the plugin sends requests to Google that include the selected property or site, the requested date range and report configuration, and an access token authorizing the request. Google returns aggregated analytics and search performance data for display inside WordPress.
