External service

This plugin connects to the Speechbox service at https://www.speechbox.chat/.

During setup, the plugin sends your email address, password, WordPress site URL, WordPress locale, and plugin version to Speechbox so an account and chatbox can be created or connected. The password is used only for the Speechbox account connection request and is not stored by this WordPress plugin.

After setup, the plugin loads the Speechbox widget script from https://www.speechbox.chat/widget.js on public pages where the chatbox is active. Visitors who use the chatbox communicate with the Speechbox hosted service. If nickname prefilling is enabled, the display name or username of logged-in WordPress users may be passed to the widget as a nickname.
