<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses Google’s Identity Services to provide a secure authentication method (Google Sign-In and Google One Tap). To function, it connects to several Google APIs.
<ul>
<li>Service: Google Identity Services (accounts.google.com)</li>
<li>Purpose: This service is used to display the “Sign in with Google” button and the Google One Tap prompt. It handles the user authentication process directly in the user’s browser.</li>
<li>Data Sent: This plugin initiates the authentication flow, but user data (like email and password) is entered directly on Google’s domain, not through this plugin. The plugin only receives a secure authentication token from Google after a successful login.</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>
Service: Google OAuth & People APIs (oauth2.googleapis.com, www.googleapis.com)
</li>
<li>Purpose: After a user authenticates, the plugin’s server sends the received authentication token/code to these Google APIs to verify its authenticity and retrieve basic user profile information (email, name, profile picture).</li>
<li>Data Sent: An authentication token/code provided by Google is sent from your server to Google’s servers for validation.</li>
