### External services

This plugin connects to the Google Maps Platform (Google Places API and Google Maps
JavaScript API) to power the optional Google Business Reviews feature. It is only
used when you enable the Google Reviews module and connect a Google Business Profile
using your own Google API key.

What the plugin sends, and when:

 * When you search for a business in the admin (Connect Google tab), the text you
   type, plus your Google API key, is sent to Google so matching places can be suggested.
 * When you connect a place and when reviews are refreshed, the selected Place ID
   and your API key are sent to Google to retrieve the business details, rating,
   reviews and profile/photo images.
 * On the admin settings screen, the Google Maps JavaScript API is loaded from Google
   to assist with place search.

No data from your site visitors is sent to Google by this plugin. Requests are made
server-to-server (or, for the Maps JavaScript API, from the admin screen only).

Endpoints used:

 * https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json
 * https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json
 * https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo
 * https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js
 * https://places.googleapis.com/v1/places:searchText
 * https://places.googleapis.com/v1/places/
 * https://places.googleapis.com/v1/

Google is a third-party service. Its use is subject to Google’s terms and privacy
policy:

 * Google Maps Platform Terms of Service: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/
   terms/
 * Google APIs Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/terms/
 * Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### Social sharing services

The Google Reviews layouts include an optional “Share” button on each review card.
When a site visitor clicks “Share” and then chooses a network, the plugin opens 
that network’s own share page in a new tab. No data is sent automatically: a request
is only made when the visitor actively chooses a network, and the only information
passed is the page URL of the review (and, for some networks, a generic “Check this
out!” message). The plugin does not transmit any visitor data on its own.

The share targets, and what is sent when a visitor clicks them, are:

 * Facebook (Meta) — opens https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php with the page
   URL. Terms: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms , Privacy: https://www.facebook.
   com/privacy/policy/
 * WhatsApp — opens https://api.whatsapp.com/send with the page URL as message text.
   Terms: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service , Privacy: https://www.
   whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy
 * X (Twitter) — opens https://twitter.com/intent/tweet with the page URL and a 
   generic message. Terms: https://x.com/en/tos , Privacy: https://x.com/en/privacy
 * Email via Gmail — opens https://mail.google.com/mail/ pre-filled with the page
   URL and a generic message. Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms , Privacy:
   https://policies.google.com/privacy
