Third Party Services

Google (Google OAuth + Google Drive API)

What it is used for:

• Connecting your WordPress site to Google (OAuth)
• Listing/searching files and folders from Google Drive
• Opening/downloading files via Google-hosted URLs

When data is sent:

• When an administrator clicks Connect Google and completes authorization
• When anyone views a page that contains the [sg_doc_library] shortcode (your WordPress site fetches file/folder metadata from Google to render the library)
• When a visitor uses Search / Open / Download inside the library
• When the plugin refreshes an expired access token (if you have connected with offline access)

What data is sent:

• During OAuth authorization (admin action): client ID, redirect URI, state, requested scope, and an authorization code
• During API calls to Google Drive: an OAuth access token (in an Authorization header), Google Drive file/folder IDs, and search terms entered by the user (if search is used)
• During Open/Download (visitor action): your WordPress site returns a redirect URL and the visitor’s browser is sent to a Google-hosted URL containing the file ID (for example docs.google.com export links or drive.google.com download links)

Data flow / conditions:

• Google Drive API requests are made server-to-server (from your WordPress site to Google) using the OAuth token stored in your WordPress database.
• The visitor’s browser is only sent directly to Google when the visitor clicks Open or Download.

Endpoints contacted:

• https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
• https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
• https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3

Visitor browser destinations (when using Open/Download):

• https://docs.google.com/
• https://drive.google.com/

OAuth scope:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly

Stripe (Donate link)

What it is used for:

• Optional donations via a Stripe-hosted checkout page

When data is sent:

• Only when an administrator clicks the Donate button in the plugin admin page

What data is sent:

• The plugin itself does not send payment details. Clicking Donate opens a Stripe-hosted page in your browser. Stripe then receives the data needed to load and process the checkout (such as your IP address, browser/user agent, and any information you enter on the checkout page).
