<h3>External Services</h3>

WordPress.org Plugin Directory API
What the service is and what it is used for: 
This plugin uses the official WordPress.org Plugin Directory API to retrieve plugin information including metadata, ratings, installation counts, update history, and compatibility data. This is necessary to provide the enhanced filtering, sorting, and quality assessment features.
What data is sent and when: 
– Data sent: Search terms entered by the user, filter parameters (installation count filters, rating filters, update timeframe filters), and pagination requests 
– When sent: Every time a user performs a search in the WordPress admin plugin installer (Plugins > Add New) or applies filters 
– Frequency: Real-time API calls when users interact with the enhanced plugin installer interface 
– Personal data: No personal information, user data, or site data is transmitted – only search queries and filter criteria
