External services

This plugin uses a third-party QR code API as a fallback when generating QR images:

Service: https://api.qrserver.com/ (GoQR / QR Server API)
Purpose:
Used to obtain a base PNG QR code image for the short URL (/q/<token>). The plugin then optionally composites this QR with a caption and branding.

Data sent:
Only the short URL is sent as the data parameter in the QR request, for example:

https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=300x300&data=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fq%2FAbC123%2F

No personal data or user-identifying information is transmitted.

Terms and Privacy:

Terms: https://goqr.me/api/doc/create-qr-code/
Privacy: https://goqr.me/privacy/

If the external API is unreachable, the plugin falls back to a plain QR URL and continues to function.
