The chat service it displays is provided by Parlo Cloud, which offers a free plan and paid plans with more people online at once and more features. Those limits are set by the service, not by this plugin: nothing in the plugin code is locked or time-limited. On the free plan the chat shows a small \u201cPowered by Parlo\u201d link inside the chat itself; the plugin never adds any link to your site.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Shortcode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>[parlo]<\/code> shows the chat saved in the settings.<\/li>\n<li><code>[parlo chat=\"mychat\"]<\/code> shows another chat.<\/li>\n<li><code>[parlo chat=\"mychat\" height=\"700\" width=\"100%\"]<\/code> changes its size.

The plugin cannot show a chat without this service.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What the service is used for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Parlo Cloud hosts the chat room that appears on your pages. You create the chat on parlo.ink and this plugin displays it through a block or a shortcode.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What data is sent, and when<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Your WordPress server does not send anything to Parlo Cloud. The plugin only prints an <code>&lt;iframe&gt;<\/code> that points to your chat's address (for example <code>https:\/\/mychat.parlo.ink\/<\/code>), and only on the pages where you added the block or the shortcode.<\/li>\n<li>When a visitor opens one of those pages, the visitor's browser requests the chat from Parlo Cloud. Parlo Cloud therefore receives the visitor's IP address, browser and device information, and the address of the page that contains the chat. Everything a visitor writes or uploads in the chat is sent to and stored by Parlo Cloud. The chat can also store cookies or local storage in the visitor's browser, on Parlo's domain, to keep the visitor signed in.<\/li>\n<li>The WordPress admin and the block editor do not load the chat and do not contact Parlo Cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Service: https:\/\/parlo.ink<\/p>\n\n<p>Terms of service: https:\/\/parlo.ink\/en\/legal\/terms<\/p>\n\n<p>Privacy policy: https:\/\/parlo.ink\/en\/legal\/privacy<\/p>\n\n<p>Data processing agreement: https:\/\/parlo.ink\/en\/legal\/dpa<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>parlo-chat<\/code> folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install the plugin from the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Create your chat at https:\/\/parlo.ink and note its name.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Settings \u2192 Parlo Chat and type the name of your chat.<\/li>\n<li>Add the \u201cParlo Chat\u201d block to a page or post, or write <code>[parlo]<\/code> in it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20a%20parlo%20account%3F\"><h3>Do I need a Parlo account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
