<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services depending on which features the site administrator enables. The plugin makes zero external connections by default. All listed services activate only after explicit administrator configuration or connection.

When: Only when the site is connected via the “Connect to McCrossen” button under McCrossenSEO™ > Connect2McCrossen. 
What is sent: Site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, account identifier, and installed McCrossen plugin list.

This can be disabled by deactivating the plugin.)
