Third-Party Service

This plugin fetches daily quote data from the The Office Lines API:

• Service: theofficelines.com
• Endpoints used: https://theofficelines.com/data/qotd.json and https://theofficelines.com/data/qotd-sfw.json
• Data sent: None — the plugin only reads publicly available JSON data via a GET request.
• Frequency: Once per day (cached locally via WordPress transients for 24 hours).
• Terms of service: theofficelines.com/api/
• Privacy policy: No personal data is collected or transmitted. The API returns static JSON with no tracking.

YouTube video thumbnails are loaded from img.youtube.com. When a user clicks play, a YouTube embed iframe is loaded. YouTube’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply to that interaction.
