External services This plugin connects to the ABOSS public API (https://data.a-boss.net) to fetch the event/performance data of your own ABOSS account and show it on your site. This is required for the plugin to function: the schedule it renders comes entirely from this service. What is sent, and when: What: your ABOSS agency ID, project ID and API (Bearer) token, plus a date range (a “from” and “to” date) to bound the request. When: during the scheduled background sync (on the interval you configure per profile), when a profile is first created, and when you click Test connection on the profile screen. No event data is sent to any other party, and the plugin does not transmit visitor data. ABOSS is a third-party service operated by ABOSS B.V.
