Pixelgrade Cloud (cloud.pixelgrade.com) To provide curated block patterns in the editor inserter, the plugin fetches block-pattern assets from Pixelgrade Cloud. This request is made from WordPress admin/editor contexts, not from ordinary frontend page loads, and the response is cached locally. When fetching block patterns, the plugin sends: your site URL, whether the site uses SSL, your WordPress version, the Nova Blocks version, the Style Manager version when present, and your active theme’s slug, stylesheet slug, name, URI, version, and text domain. No personal data about your site’s visitors is sent or collected, and the plugin does not load any tracking or analytics scripts for this feature. Service: Pixelgrade Cloud Provider: Pixelgrade — https://pixelgrade.com Privacy Policy: https://pixelgrade.com/privacy/ Contributing The proposed value of Open Source is that by freely sharing the code with the community, others can use, improve and contribute back to it. It’s great if you’re willing to use your skills, knowledge, and experience to help further refine this project with your own improvements.
