<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin optionally connects to the following third-party / external services. Each service is only contacted when its corresponding module is enabled and the described conditions are met.
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA (Google LLC)</h4>
What it is and what it is used for: 
Google reCAPTCHA is a bot-detection service. CoxWall uses it to protect the WordPress login, registration, lost-password, comment, and WooCommerce My Account forms from automated attacks.
What data is sent and when: 
When the CAPTCHA module is enabled, two types of requests are made to Google:
<ol>
<li>Front-end (page load) – the visitor’s browser loads the reCAPTCHA JavaScript library directly from Google’s CDN (<code>www.google.com</code>). Google receives the visitor’s IP address, browser and device information, and the site’s public reCAPTCHA site key.</li>
<li>Back-end (form submission) – when a visitor submits a protected form, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token, the site’s secret key, and the visitor’s IP address to Google’s verification endpoint (<code>www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify</code>) to confirm the response is valid.</li>
</ol>
No data is sent if the CAPTCHA module is disabled or if no reCAPTCHA site/secret key has been configured.
Service provider links: 
* Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms 
* Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy 
* reCAPTCHA-specific information: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha
<h4>WordPress.org Core Checksums API (WordPress.org)</h4>
What it is and what it is used for: 
The WordPress.org Checksums API provides official MD5 hashes for every file in each WordPress core release. CoxWall’s File Integrity module uses these hashes to detect unauthorized modifications to core files.
What data is sent and when: 
When a file integrity scan runs (manually triggered or on schedule), the plugin sends a GET request to <code>https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/</code> containing:
<ul>
<li>The installed WordPress version number.</li>
<li>The site’s configured locale/language.</li>
</ul>
No personal data, user data, or site content is transmitted. The request retrieves a publicly available checksum list.
