<h3>Free and Premium Usage Notice</h3>
Gatey works entirely offline and provides full login and registration functionality via your WordPress installation without requiring any registration or subscription.
Optional premium features (like advanced customization or frontend integrations) are only available after connecting your WordPress instance via a secure frontend-only JavaScript authenticator to our Gatey service. Registration and subscription are not required to use the core plugin functionality. All premium interactions happen client-side using standard AWS Amplify and Stripe components – no external PHP code is loaded or executed.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin integrates with the following third-party services:
<ol>
<li>
Amazon Cognito
<ul>
<li>What it is & what it’s used for: 
A managed user-identity and authentication service from Amazon Web Services (AWS). We use Cognito User Pools to handle user registration, login, multi-factor authentication (MFA), password resets, and JWT issuance. </li>
<li>What data is sent & when:
<ul>
<li>Registration / Sign-up: username, email, and any required attributes are sent to Cognito for account creation. </li>
<li>Sign-in / Authentication: username and password (and MFA code if enabled) are sent to Cognito for verification. </li>
<li>Token exchange: on successful login, Cognito returns ID, access, and refresh tokens which are stored client-side for session management. </li>
<li>Password reset & profile updates: relevant identifiers and new credentials or attributes are sent when users trigger those flows. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Endpoints called:
<ul>
<li><code>https://cognito-idp.{region}.amazonaws.com/{userPoolId}</code> </li>
<li>Other AWS API endpoints under the <code>amazonaws.com</code> domain. </li>
</ul>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Google reCAPTCHA v3
<ul>
<li>What it is & what it’s used for: 
A client-side bot-detection widget from Google that provides a score for interactions. We integrate reCAPTCHA v3 into the Authenticator block’s sign-up form by fetching a token in the browser. </li>
<li>What data is sent & when:
<ul>
<li>Client-side only: the plugin’s JS calls <code>grecaptcha.execute()</code> to retrieve a reCAPTCHA token and then includes that token in the sign-up request sent to Amazon Cognito. </li>
<li>Server-side verification: only happens if you configure a Pre-SignUp Lambda in your Cognito user pool that calls Google’s <code>siteverify</code> API with your secret key. That Lambda is wholly under your control—Gatey does not handle or store your secret. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Configuration in WordPress:
<ul>
<li>Enter your reCAPTCHA v3 Site Key in Settings → General → reCAPTCHA v3 Public Key. </li>
<li>No Secret Key is required by the plugin. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Links:
<ul>
<li>About reCAPTCHA v3: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/ </li>

</li>
</ol>
<h3>Client-Side Libraries</h3>
<ol>
<li>AWS Amplify Authenticator
<ul>
<li>What it is & why we use it: 
A React UI component library from the Amplify Framework. We embed its <code><Authenticator></code> component inside our Gutenberg block to render and manage the login/signup flows. </li>
<li>What it does:
<ul>
<li>Renders sign-in, sign-up, MFA, and password-reset forms. </li>
<li>Under the hood it calls the Amazon Cognito APIs (see External Services entry), but does not itself authenticate or store secrets. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Docs & source:
<ul>
<li>GitHub repo: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-ui </li>
