ContactSync : Integration of Google Contacts for WooCommerce

ContactSync simplifies customer management by enabling WooCommerce sites to automatically sync customer contacts with Google Contacts.

External API Use
This plugin integrates with the following Google services:
– Google OAuth 2.0 Authentication API: Authenticates and authorizes access to Google Contacts by securely generating OAuth tokens for each user.
– Google Userinfo API: Retrieves basic profile information (name and email) during the initial OAuth authentication process to verify user identity.
– Google People API: Syncs WooCommerce customer contact details (name, email, phone) with Google Contacts to help streamline customer management. Requires OAuth 2.0 authentication for secure access.
– Google Drive API: Embeds support videos hosted on Google Drive as read-only links in the plugin settings, assisting with setup and troubleshooting.

Privacy and Data Handling
– No customer data is stored externally, the plugin only accesses Google Contacts and embeds Google Drive videos.
– OAuth tokens and Google credentials are stored securely in your WordPress database, and users can revoke access anytime.
– ContactSync’s use of these APIs does not collect, store, or transmit any data to external servers outside of Google.

Data Usage and Storage
ContactSync only accesses customer contact details for syncing and uses Google Drive in read-only mode to display support videos within the plugin. OAuth tokens and Google credentials are securely stored, and users can disconnect from Google at any time to remove all stored Google credentials.
