External services
This plugin connects to the Aparat API to retrieve public information (title, description, thumbnail, duration, upload date, view count, tags and channel name) about the videos you embed. Videos are also displayed on your site through an iframe served by Aparat.
- Service: Aparat (https://www.aparat.com)
- Data sent: the ID of the video being embedded, together with the standard HTTP request data (such as your server’s IP address). No visitor data is sent by the plugin; requests are made from your server when you save content, use the admin tools, or when the cache expires.
- When: on saving a post that contains an Aparat video, when you use “Test connection”, “Scan site” or “Refresh” in the settings screen, and when cached data has expired.
- Visitors: the embedded Aparat player is loaded in the visitor’s browser from aparat.com and is subject to Aparat’s policies.
- Terms of service: https://www.aparat.com/terms
