<h4>Privacy</h4>
This plugin does not send data to third parties except as described in the External services section below. SSO and audit data are stored in your own WordPress database.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services to provide authentication and optional paid features. No data is sent to any external service except as described below.
1) Microsoft Azure AD / Entra ID (required for SSO login)
Used for SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication.
Data sent and when:
<ul>
<li>On SSO login start, the browser is redirected to Microsoft with Azure app/protocol parameters (tenant endpoint, app/client ID, redirect URI, state, scopes, SAML request/relay state as applicable).</li>
<li>On OIDC callback, the site sends the one-time authorization code (and PKCE verifier) to Microsoft’s token endpoint.</li>
<li>On SAML setup import/test actions, the site fetches your tenant’s federation metadata URL.</li>
<li>On logout (if SLO/end-session is enabled), the browser is redirected to Microsoft’s logout endpoint.</li>
</ul>
Returned identity claims (email, name, subject/object ID, roles/groups) are used to authenticate/provision users and stored in your WordPress database.

<li>Terms of Service: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement</li>
</ul>
2) Microsoft Graph API (Pro only; when configured by the site admin)
Used to sync users and groups from Microsoft Entra ID into WordPress.
Data sent and when:
<ul>
<li>When an admin runs a Graph test, import, or sync (manual or scheduled), the site sends requests to Microsoft Graph using app-only access tokens.</li>
<li>Requests include query parameters for the configured sync operations (group/member lookups, account status checks, etc.).</li>
</ul>
Returned directory fields (user principal name, email, display name, object IDs, group membership, account status) are used to create, update, or deprovision WordPress users per plugin settings.

</ul>
3) Freemius (optional; only when admin opts in or activates a paid license)
Used for licensing, upgrade flow, and optional analytics.
Data sent and when:
<ul>
<li>On activation, an opt-in prompt is shown; no data is sent unless the admin consents.</li>
<li>On license activation/validation, the site exchanges license, account, and site information with Freemius servers.</li>
<li>
If telemetry opt-in is accepted, usage and diagnostic events may be sent per Freemius configuration.
