== External Services ==

This plugin relies on the following third-party / external service to perform sharing functionality:

**Social Network Share Links**
- The plugin uses public share endpoints for all 30+ social networks (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, etc.)
- These are client-side redirects only — no data is sent to the plugin developers
- Users complete the share action directly on each social platform
- Review each network's privacy policy for their data handling practices

**Nextdoor Sharing Service**
- What it is: A sharing utility provided by Nextdoor (https://nextdoor.com) that allows users to post links to their Nextdoor community boards.
- What it is used for: Allowing website visitors to validate and share the current post or page URL on Nextdoor.
- What data is sent and when: When a visitor clicks the Nextdoor share button, they are redirected to Nextdoor's validate-share endpoint, which transmits the URL of the shared page. No personal or telemetry data is sent.
- Links: [Nextdoor Terms of Service](https://nextdoor.com/member_agreement/) and [Nextdoor Privacy Policy](https://nextdoor.com/privacy_policy/).

For all other social networks, this plugin uses client-side redirects to their public share endpoints, where users complete the share action directly on the respective platforms. No data is sent to the plugin developers.
