External services
This plugin connects to Course Studio (https://cforj.studio), operated by cforj, to embed interactive courses and SCORM lessons.
What data is sent, and when
- When a visitor loads a page with an embedded course, their browser downloads the Course Studio Embed SDK from
https://app.cforj.studio/api/embed-sdk/coursestudio.umd.jsand the course content fromhttps://app.cforj.studio/embed/<course_id>. Standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, user agent, referer) is sent as part of this request. - When you click “Open Course Studio dashboard” in WordPress admin, a new tab opens at
https://app.cforj.studio/integrationwith your WordPress user ID and site URL as URL parameters so the install can be linked to your Course Studio account. - The plugin does not transmit post content, visitor emails, or any other personal data.
