<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin may redirect users to external websites in the following scenarios:
<ul>
<li>
Pro Version Page: When users access the “Pro Version” menu item in the WordPress admin, they will be presented with a page containing a link to our website (https://needsplugin.com/np-formshield/) where they can learn more about Pro features and pricing. This is a user-initiated action – users must click the “Buy Pro Version” button to visit the external website. No automatic redirects are performed.
</li>
<li>
Premium Upgrade Notices: When users interact with premium features or disabled premium form plugins in the dashboard, they may see upgrade notices with links to our website. These links open in a new tab and require explicit user action (clicking the link).
</li>
</ul>
All external links are clearly labeled and require user interaction. No data is automatically sent to external services without user consent.
