Privacy

This plugin registers Meta’s oEmbed API endpoints as providers in WordPress. When a Threads, Instagram, or Facebook URL is embedded:

• WordPress makes a server-side request to graph.threads.com/oembed (Threads), graph.facebook.com/v25.0/instagram_oembed (Instagram), graph.facebook.com/v25.0/oembed_post (Facebook posts), or graph.facebook.com/v25.0/oembed_video (Facebook videos) to fetch the embed HTML.
• The embed HTML includes a script tag that loads threads.com/embed.js, instagram.com/embed.js, or connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js on the frontend to render the embed.
• No user data is collected or stored by this plugin.
• Frontend embed rendering is subject to Meta’s Privacy Policy.
• Access to and use of this plugin is subject to Meta Platform Terms, Developer Policies, and Meta’s Community Standards, together with all other applicable terms and policies.
