External services:
Calio Addon can connect to external services only when an administrator configures and initiates the related feature.
- Google Calendar API (optional): Used by the API settings screen to connect a Google Calendar account through OAuth and cache calendar metadata for calendar-related widgets. When the administrator starts the connection, authorization codes and tokens are exchanged with Google over HTTPS, and calendar list/user profile data may be requested from Google APIs.

- Public Google Sheets CSV (optional): The Table widget can fetch a public Google Sheet CSV URL entered by the site editor. The requested sheet URL is sent to Google only when that data source is selected.
- Freemius SDK (optional opt-in): Used for account, support, update, licensing, and upgrade flows. The SDK is WordPress.org compliant and asks for user consent before collecting usage/account data. Terms: https://freemius.com/terms/ Privacy: https://freemius.com/privacy/
