== External services ==

This plugin connects to APIs of third parties to provide the list of its features. In all cases it does so when
the site administrator authorizes it. When it's authorized it saves the basic user data required to identify the account in the dashboard area.
The basic information include the username or for full name, the remote account ID, an access token, and its expiry date. This information is used
 to identify the account in the dashboard area and used to post the site content to those accounts when the user decides to share posts, and also
 when a schedule is created to do so.
For this reason we seek to make it clear which services and provide links to where their policies or terms of usage can be found.
