<h3>Third Party Services</h3>
<h4>Google (Google OAuth + Google Drive API)</h4>
What it is used for:
<ul>
<li>Connecting your WordPress site to Google (OAuth)</li>
<li>Listing/searching files and folders from Google Drive</li>
<li>Opening/downloading files via Google-hosted URLs</li>
</ul>
When data is sent:
<ul>
<li>When an administrator clicks Connect Google and completes authorization</li>
<li>When anyone views a page that contains the <code>[sg_doc_library]</code> shortcode (your WordPress site fetches file/folder metadata from Google to render the library)</li>
<li>When a visitor uses Search / Open / Download inside the library</li>
<li>When the plugin refreshes an expired access token (if you have connected with offline access)</li>
</ul>
What data is sent:
<ul>
<li>During OAuth authorization (admin action): client ID, redirect URI, state, requested scope, and an authorization code</li>
<li>During API calls to Google Drive: an OAuth access token (in an Authorization header), Google Drive file/folder IDs, and search terms entered by the user (if search is used)</li>
<li>During Open/Download (visitor action): your WordPress site returns a redirect URL and the visitor’s browser is sent to a Google-hosted URL containing the file ID (for example <code>docs.google.com</code> export links or <code>drive.google.com</code> download links)</li>
</ul>
Data flow / conditions:
<ul>
<li>Google Drive API requests are made server-to-server (from your WordPress site to Google) using the OAuth token stored in your WordPress database.</li>
<li>The visitor’s browser is only sent directly to Google when the visitor clicks Open or Download.</li>
</ul>
Endpoints contacted:
<ul>
<li>https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth</li>
<li>https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token</li>
<li>https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3</li>
</ul>
Visitor browser destinations (when using Open/Download):
<ul>
<li>https://docs.google.com/</li>
<li>https://drive.google.com/</li>
</ul>

<h4>Stripe (Donate link)</h4>
What it is used for:
<ul>
<li>Optional donations via a Stripe-hosted checkout page</li>
</ul>
When data is sent:
<ul>
<li>Only when an administrator clicks the Donate button in the plugin admin page</li>
</ul>
What data is sent:
<ul>
<li>The plugin itself does not send payment details. Clicking Donate opens a Stripe-hosted page in your browser. Stripe then receives the data needed to load and process the checkout (such as your IP address, browser/user agent, and any information you enter on the checkout page).</li>
