== External Services ==

This plugin connects to third-party APIs to provide its features. These connections occur only after explicit authorization by the site administrator. The plugin enables features such as posting content to social media accounts, creating short URLs, and retrieving user account details. Below is a comprehensive explanation of how the plugin interacts with these external services and ensures compliance with privacy and security standards.

### Data Collection and Handling
The plugin collects and processes the following data to enable integration with external services:
– **Usernames or full names**: Used for account identification.
– **Remote account IDs**: Required for managing external accounts via the plugin.
– **Access tokens and expiry dates**: Used for authentication and secure API communication.

This data is:
1. Stored securely in the WordPress database, encrypted when applicable.
2. Used solely to perform authorized actions, such as posting content or scheduling tasks.
3. Removed when the user revokes authorization or deletes the plugin.

The plugin does not collect or share any additional data beyond what is required to facilitate its features.

### User Consent and Privacy
– The plugin requires **explicit user authorization** before connecting to any external service. Users are presented with a consent screen detailing:
  – The purpose of the connection.
  – The data that will be shared.
  – Links to the external service’s privacy policy.
– No data is transmitted to third-party services without user consent.
– Users can revoke access at any time via the plugin’s settings. Upon revocation, all related data is securely deleted.

The plugin complies with global privacy regulations, including GDPR and CCPA. It minimizes data collection and ensures that users can exercise their rights to data access, correction, and deletion.

### Security Practices
– All API communications occur over secure HTTPS connections.
– Access tokens are stored encrypted and are not exposed to unauthorized users.
– Expired tokens are automatically removed, and users are prompted to reauthorize when necessary.
– The plugin implements error handling for API requests, including retries and logging failures in a secure log file.
