External Services

MeinTurnierplan.de Service

This plugin uses MeinTurnierplan.de for both displaying tournament content and retrieving tournament configuration data.

What it does:

1. Frontend Display (Public-Facing):

   • Displays tournament tables and match schedules to site visitors via iframe embeds
   • Endpoints Used:
     • https://www.meinturnierplan.de/displayTable.php (for tournament standings)
     • https://www.meinturnierplan.de/displayMatches.php (for match schedules)
   • When: When a visitor loads a page with tournament content (shortcode, block, or widget)

2. Admin Configuration (Admin Area Only):

   • Provides tournament structure data via JSON API to help administrators configure displays
   • Endpoint Used:
     • https://www.meinturnierplan.de/json/json.php (tournament structure data)
   • When: Only in WordPress admin area when:
     • Administrator enters a Tournament ID in settings
     • Administrator clicks “Refresh Groups” or similar refresh buttons
     • Admin preview is loaded or refreshed
   • What it retrieves:
     • Tournament groups/divisions structure
     • Team lists and names
     • Tournament options (showCourts, showGroups, showReferees, finalMatches)
   • Purpose:
     • Auto-populate group selection dropdowns in admin interface
     • Determine which features are available for the tournament
     • Provide better admin user experience with automatic configuration
   • Data cached: Retrieved data is cached for 15 minutes to minimize API calls
   • NOT used on frontend: JSON API is only contacted from WordPress admin area, never from public-facing pages

• Data Sent: Tournament ID only (no personal data, no user information)
• Privacy Policy
• Terms of Service

What the Embedded Widgets Collect:

The embedded widgets:

• NO tracking scripts – The embedded widgets do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics services
• NO cookies – The widgets do not set any cookies in users’ browsers
• NO third-party resources – The widgets only load CSS styling from meinturnierplan.de (no Google Fonts, AdSense, or other external services)
• Communication: The widgets only use JavaScript to send iframe dimensions to your page for proper display sizing (via postMessage API)

What Data May Be Collected:

When users view embedded tournament content, meinturnierplan.de’s web server may automatically log:

• IP addresses (standard web server logs)
• Browser type and version (from User-Agent header)
• Referrer URL (your website where the widget is embedded)
• Access timestamp

This is standard web server logging and does not involve cookies, tracking scripts, or persistent user identification.

Privacy Notice

This plugin itself does not:

• Track users
• Collect personal data
• Use cookies or localStorage
• Send personal or sensitive data to any server

Data Transmission:
The only data sent by this plugin is the Tournament ID to meinturnierplan.de when you explicitly add tournament content (via shortcode, block, or widget) to display on your pages.

Embedded Widget Behavior:
The embedded widgets from meinturnierplan.de:

• Do NOT use tracking scripts (no Google Analytics in widgets)
• Do NOT set cookies
• Do NOT load third-party services (no Google Fonts, AdSense, etc.)
• Only communicate iframe dimensions back to your page for proper display

Standard Web Server Logging:
Like any web resource, meinturnierplan.de’s servers may log standard HTTP request data (IP address, browser type, referrer, timestamp) when serving the embedded content. This is standard practice for all web servers and does not involve user tracking or cookies.

No Consent Required:
Because the embedded widgets do not use cookies, tracking scripts, or persistent user identification, no additional cookie consent is required beyond standard web server logging disclosure in your privacy policy.

• English
