Privacy

This plugin stores employee data entered by the site administrator. No data is sent to external services except for QR code generation (uses a public QR API or falls back to a local generator). No tracking or analytics are included.

External Services

This plugin optionally connects to two external QR code generation APIs when generating QR codes for employee letters. These APIs are only called server-side (never from the visitor’s browser) when WordPress is generating a letter or verification page.

1. goQR.me API

What it does: Generates a QR code PNG image for a verification URL.
When it is called: When a new letter is generated and the PHP GD extension is unavailable.
Data sent: The public verification URL (e.g. https://yoursite.com/?evda_verify_doc=XXXX). No personal data is transmitted.
Service provider: goQR.me — https://goqr.me
Terms of use: https://goqr.me/terms-of-use/
Privacy policy: https://goqr.me/privacy-policy/

2. Google Charts API

What it does: Fallback QR code PNG generation if the goQR.me API is unavailable.
When it is called: Only if the goQR.me API call fails and the PHP GD extension is unavailable.
Data sent: The public verification URL only. No personal data is transmitted.
Service provider: Google LLC — https://developers.google.com/chart
Terms of use: https://developers.google.com/terms
Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

If both external APIs are unavailable (e.g. the server has no outbound internet access), the plugin automatically falls back to a locally-generated QR code using the PHP GD library — no external request is made.
