SOCIAL LOGIN – personal data we collect and why we collect it

We use the Nextend Social Login to manage social login data

The Login with Facebook feature connects to Facebook via a Facebook App ID : 141339872574845  created on the Facebook developers platform  which allows the connection between the Nextend Social Login buttons and Facebook.

It collects the following data: email address, name, social provider identifier, access token and profile picture.

Who we share your data with

Nextend Social Login stores the personal data on our site and does not share it with anyone except the access token which is used for the authenticated communication between our website and the social providers.

Does the plugin share personal data with third parties

Yes: The Nextend Social Login uses the access token which the social provider supplies to communicate with the social providers API/application to verify account and securely access personal data.
Therefore there is a transfer of data between our site and the social provider.

How long we retain your data

Nextend Social Login removes the collected personal data when the user is deleted from the website or manually disconnects from any of the social providers using links found within the users Account Profile.

Social Login: Personal data Collection
