External Services
This plugin requires access to external services to function. Specifically, it connects to the Glycerine IAW API to retrieve and display image sets, annotations, and related publication data.
What services are used and why
- IAW Server (Australia) –
https://iaw-server.ardc-hdcl-sia-iaw.cloud.edu.au/api - Glycerine.io (International) –
https://app.glycerine.io/api
These services provide the underlying IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) data and annotation sets needed for the plugin to render images, text annotations, and collections inside WordPress.
What data is sent and when
- When the plugin is configured, it will send the API key (entered by the administrator) along with requests for images, image sets, annotations, and publication metadata.
- These requests occur when a user loads a page or block containing a Glycerine viewer or annotation table.
- No personally identifiable information about site visitors is transmitted.
Terms of Service and Privacy Policies
Notes
- If you are based in Australia, you may prefer to use the IAW server.
- If you are outside Australia, the Glycerine.io international server is recommended.
