    I’m not sure if I understand the following in your docs. As GDPR is becoming more and more serious in the EU. If a user decides to delete their account, is everything deleted, incl. the captured login details from this plugin?

    WordPress tools: Export and Erase
    Any user can request all information you store from them. WordPress introduced a feature for this purpose at the Tools. Nextend Social Login does not affect the Erase Personal Data, as it does not create anything that could be erased this way. However, the Export Personal data tool will export everything Nextend Social Login stores. Including:

    First and last name
    Email
    Avatar
    Access token
    Sync data fields

    Hi @memt-network

    Deleting user data:
    Nextend Social Login registers the users the same way as WordPress does, so the data we store will be associated with the user.
    This means that, if the user is deleted, then the data that Nextend Social Login stored ( including user meta ) will also be deleted.

    Important Note: If you do custom coding, and you request and store extra information before the registration of social login, then we don’t have control over that. So you need to make sure that information also gets deleted if necessary.

    Export Personal Data:
    The information stored by us appears in the Personal data export, because we register it over the wp_privacy_personal_data_exporters filter.

    Best regards,
    Laszlo.

    Oh, thanks for the clear response!

    Is Instagram going to be added any soon too?

    Hi @memt-network

    Earlier we had plans for creating an Instagram provider, but Instagram deprecated its old API that could be used for social login.
    They created new APIs, and actually the data that the Basic Display API returns could be used for social login, but Facebook ( who owns Instagram now ) doesn’t want you to use Instagram as an authentication tool, as they rather want to push Facebook for authentication.
    Unfortunately, you can not even bypass this limitation, as the Instagram Basic Display API requires an App Review and they already mention that in the API description, if your app uses the API data to authenticate users, they will reject your App Review.

    So currently Instagram can not be used as a login option, I am sorry. We also have documentation about this topic:

    Best regards,
    Laszlo.
