<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to external services to provide its functionality. By using this plugin, you acknowledge and agree to the data transmission to these services:</p>
<h3>PayPal Payment Processing</h3>
<p>This plugin integrates with PayPal’s REST API for payment processing and subscription management.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Service</strong>: PayPal REST API (api.paypal.com for live mode, api.sandbox.paypal.com for testing)</li>
<li><strong>Purpose</strong>: Process payments, manage subscriptions, handle refunds, and capture payment data</li>
<li><strong>Data Sent</strong>: Customer payment information, purchase amounts, product descriptions, subscription details, user billing information</li>
<li><strong>When Data is Sent</strong>: When users make purchases, create subscriptions, cancel subscriptions, or when refunds are processed</li>
<li><strong>PayPal Terms of Service</strong>: https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/useragreement-full</li>
<li><strong>PayPal Privacy Policy</strong>: https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/privacy-full</li>
</ul>
<h3>IP Geolocation Service</h3>
<p>This plugin uses IP-API.com for geolocation-based content restrictions.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Service</strong>: IP-API.com (ip-api.com)</li>
<li><strong>Purpose</strong>: Determine user’s country based on IP address for geographic content restrictions</li>
<li><strong>Data Sent</strong>: User’s IP address</li>
<li><strong>When Data is Sent</strong>: When geographic lock rules are enabled and content is accessed</li>
<li><strong>IP-API Terms of Service</strong>: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
<li><strong>IP-API Privacy Policy</strong>: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: These external services are essential for the plugin’s core functionality. Payment processing cannot function without PayPal integration, and geographic restrictions require IP geolocation services.</p>
