External services

This plugin uses Gravatar (an Automattic service) to provide fallback avatar images for employees in attendance reports and employee summaries when a local custom profile image has not been uploaded.

• Service Name: Gravatar (by Automattic)
• What it is used for: Displaying fallback avatar images in admin attendance reports and monthly report summaries when an employee does not have an uploaded profile photo.
• What data is sent: Standard WordPress get_avatar_url() requests send an identifier or hashed string to Gravatar image servers (secure.gravatar.com) as part of the image URL query.
• When it is contacted: The service is contacted by the administrator’s browser when viewing attendance and monthly report pages if an employee record has no local custom profile image.
• Why it is used: To provide visual identification for employee records across attendance reports without requiring manual image uploads for each employee.
• Terms of Service: https://gravatar.com/terms-of-service/ (and Automattic Terms of Service: https://automattic.com/tos/)
• Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/
