What is the difference between Playipp Integrations vs. Third-Party Widgets?
Please note that Playipp's software solution may include both integrations with third-party platforms and embedded third-party widgets.
-
Playipp Integrations: These are direct connections built and supported by Playipp, designed to enhance the functionality of our platform by working seamlessly with other systems.
- These integrations move data through our database.
- We are able to use cache, which helps if the screens goes offline.
- Customers are able to change appearance of the widgets used within the Playipp environment.
- We provide updates for both widgets and integrations.
-
Third-Party Widgets: These are external applications or content from other providers that may be displayed within our platform. While we strive to select reputable providers, Playipp does not fully control the functionality, content, or data privacy practices of these third-party widgets.
- The entire widget or embed is provided from another vendor.
- Usually a newer webbrowser is needed to display the widget since it is the signage screen or player that browse to the specific widget.
- We are not able to cache or monitor the widget.
- We are not able to provide updates.
Your use of third-party widgets is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective third-party providers. Playipp is not responsible for any issues, loss, or damages arising from your use of these widgets.
