Meteoprog Weather Widgets allows you to quickly embed free weather informers (widgets) from Meteoprog.
⚠️ Important: This plugin uses a separate API key for widgets (informers).
It is NOT the same as the Meteoprog Weather API key.
Informer API keys are always free and have no usage limits.
You can create new informers here: https://billing.meteoprog.com/informer.

Privacy
This plugin itself does not collect or store any personal data. However, when the widget is displayed on the frontend, visitors』 browsers load the widget script from the Meteoprog CDN, which receives standard request information (IP address, User-Agent, Referrer).
The CDN may also set technical cookies required for content delivery or security. These cookies are managed by Meteoprog and are subject to their privacy policy.
This plugin adds a suggested section to WordPress』s default Privacy Policy page, explaining what data is transmitted when widgets are displayed.

External Services
This plugin connects to the Meteoprog services to display widgets.
-
https://billing.meteoprog.com — used by the plugin to fetch your informer list via a secure API request (Authorization header with your informer API key and site domain).
-
https://cdn.meteoprog.net — the visitor』s browser loads a small JavaScript file from the Meteoprog CDN to render the widgets. As with any CDN, the visitor』s IP address and browser information are transmitted as part of the HTTPS request. This is standard browser behavior.
No personal data is collected or stored by the plugin itself.
