      External Services<\/h3>\n\n

      This plugin connects to third-party services to enable Google Drive functionality.<\/p>\n\n

      Option 1: Cloudflare Worker (Recommended)<\/h3>\n\n

      Service:<\/strong> Cloudflare Worker (Google OAuth Proxy)
      \nPurpose:<\/strong> Handles Google OAuth authentication securely without storing credentials in WordPress<\/p>\n\n

      Data Transmitted:<\/strong>\n- OAuth authorization codes
      \n- Temporary session tokens<\/p>\n\n

      Service Provider:<\/strong> Cloudflare, Inc. (Worker script operated by the plugin author)<\/p>\n\n

      Third-Party Service:<\/strong> Yes \u2013 requests are sent to a Cloudflare Worker endpoint controlled by the plugin developer<\/p>\n\n

      Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/privacypolicy\/<\/p>\n\n

      Note:<\/strong>
      \nThe Cloudflare Worker acts as a proxy between your WordPress site and Google APIs.
      \nNo images are stored on the worker. Files are downloaded directly to your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Option 2: Google Drive API<\/h3>\n\n

      Service:<\/strong> Google Drive API
      \nPurpose:<\/strong> Access and download files from your Google Drive<\/p>\n\n

      Data Transmitted:<\/strong>\n- OAuth authentication tokens
      \n- File metadata (names, IDs, sizes, MIME types)
      \n- File hashes (for duplicate detection)
      \n- File content during downloads<\/p>\n\n

      Service Provider:<\/strong> Google LLC<\/p>\n\n

      Terms:<\/strong> https:\/\/developers.google.com\/drive\/terms
      \nPrivacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      User Consent:<\/strong>
      \nBy clicking \"Connect Google Drive\", you explicitly consent to sending authentication data to the selected service (Cloudflare Worker or Google API).<\/p>\n\n
