External services
This plugin requires external services in order to connect to and publish on Google Business Profile.
Google Business Profile APIs
The plugin connects to Google Business Profile APIs to retrieve the Google accounts and Business Profile locations available to the connected user, create and read Business Profile posts, and edit or delete posts when the user requests those actions.
When these features are used, the plugin sends the Google OAuth access token, Google account and location identifiers, and the data required for the requested operation to Google. When publishing a post, this can include the post text/summary, language, call-to-action type, the URL of the WordPress content, and the public URL of the selected featured image.
Requests are sent when the user connects/configures the plugin, publishes or manages Google posts, or when automatic publishing is enabled and eligible WordPress content is published.

Arrow Design OAuth broker
ie/google-business-broker/ to complete Google OAuth authorization and refresh Google access tokens. The broker is required because the Google OAuth client credentials are held securely on the server and are not distributed inside the WordPress plugin.
When a connection is started, the plugin sends the site’s URL and name, the WordPress callback URL, and a random one-time state value to the broker. After Google authorization, the plugin sends the one-time handoff value, state value and callback URL to claim the authorization result. When an access token needs to be renewed, the stored Google refresh token is sent to the broker.
These requests occur only when connecting Google or when a connected Google access token needs to be refreshed.
The Arrow Design OAuth broker is provided by Arrow Design. ie/terms-and-conditions/
