<p>External service disclosure:</p>

<li>this plugin requires a ProofAge account and valid API credentials</li>
<li>it connects to the ProofAge API to create verifications, fetch verification status, and process signed webhook callbacks</li>
<li>when a shopper starts verification, the plugin sends limited verification request data to ProofAge, such as an external identifier, callback or return URL, supported storefront language, and verification-related metadata</li>
<li>the plugin stores limited verification state locally in WordPress and WooCommerce, including verification status, verification ID, external ID, return URL, timestamps, session token, and optional order verification metadata</li>
