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.
