Optional MyPowerly connection for advanced workflows
For advanced workflows, an administrator can connect the site to an external API provider:
MyPowerly provides the backend API and workflow services used by the connected features in this plugin.
When connected, WordPress is used only as an interface/bridge for user-initiated actions such as connection, manual sync operations, and widget generation.
Data Transmission Clarification
Data is transmitted to the external MyPowerly service(s) only when an administrator initiates a connection or manually runs a sync action in the WordPress admin.
The plugin does not transmit data automatically or in the background.
Depending on the specific administrator-initiated action, transmitted data may include high-level categories such as site profile information, team member records, payee/affiliate metadata, or widget configuration data selected by the administrator.
⚠️ This plugin does not file tax forms, submit 1099s, or provide tax advice.
