External Services
This plugin optionally connects to the Google Fonts API (fonts.googleapis.com) to load custom fonts on the front end. This connection is only made when a non-default font family is selected in the marquee settings. No personal data is sent; only the selected font name and weight are included in the request URL.
- Service: Google Fonts
- URL: https://fonts.googleapis.com
- Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
If you prefer not to use external fonts, select Inherit as the font family (the default), and no external connection will be made.
