<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the TimeTailor service to authenticate users, create TimeTailor accounts, fetch account and salon data, generate dashboard access links, and send salon owner invitations.
It sends requests to these TimeTailor endpoints:
<ul>
<li><code>https://api.timetailor.com/auth/signin</code> to sign in an existing TimeTailor user</li>
<li><code>https://api.timetailor.com/wp/auth/signup</code> to create a new TimeTailor user or partner account</li>
<li><code>https://api.timetailor.com/wp/auth/profile</code> to fetch the authenticated user’s profile and salon locations</li>
<li><code>https://api.timetailor.com/auth/refresh-token</code> to refresh expired access tokens</li>
<li><code>https://api.timetailor.com/wp/auth/profile/generate-auth-link</code> to generate secure links into the TimeTailor dashboard</li>
<li><code>https://api.timetailor.com/wp/locations/{locationId}/experts/{expertId}/invite</code> to send a salon owner invitation email</li>
</ul>
This service is provided by <code>TimeTailor</code>:
<ul>
<li>Terms of service: <code>https://app.timetailor.com/terms</code></li>
<li>Privacy policy: <code>https://app.timetailor.com/privacy</code></li>
</ul>
When the plugin connects to the external service, it may send:
<ul>
<li>On login: the user’s email address and password</li>
<li>On signup: user type, business name, owner name, salon category, email address, password, selected language, IP address, and for partner accounts also partner first name and phone number</li>
<li>On authenticated account requests: access token or refresh token so the API can identify the connected TimeTailor account</li>
<li>When generating a location dashboard link: the selected TimeTailor location ID</li>
<li>When inviting a salon owner: the selected location ID, expert ID, first name, and email address of the invited owner</li>
