<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin generates outbound share URLs for the optional <strong>Social Sharing</strong> feature in the carousel widget. When the <em>Enable Social Sharing</em> setting is turned on (it is OFF by default), the carousel renders a row of links that point to the share endpoints listed below. <strong>No data is sent automatically.</strong> Data is only transmitted to a third party when an end-user clicks one of those share links in their browser, and the only data appended to the URL is the post’s public permalink and post title.</p>
