External Service:
This plugin relies on the SchoolDigger Widgets service to load and render widgets. When a page containing a widget is viewed, a JavaScript file is loaded from https://widgets.schooldigger.com and widget data is fetched from the SchoolDigger API. No personal visitor data is collected or transmitted — only the widget parameters (school ID, widget type, etc.) are sent to retrieve public school data.
