== Functionality ==

This WordPress plugin uses the third party public REST API on <https://orcid.org> to query publicly available information for any ORCID record hosted on <https://orcid.org> and display this on a WordPress page, post, or site. Only publicly available data is retrieved from ORCID. You may provide multiple, different ORCID iDs for use with multiple, different blocks of this plugin within a Gutenberg editor. Registration and authentication with ORCID are not necessary to do this. The only necessity is to provide a [valid 16-digit ORCID iD][orcid_ids].

=== Disclosure of Data Sent ===

* **What:** ORCID iDs users provide
* **Where:** <https://orcid.org>
* **Why:** to query the public data of an ORCID record users wish to use with this plugin
* **Under What Circumstances:**
    * whenever a user provides an ORCID iD to a block instance of this plugin
    * whenever a post, page, or site that includes a block instance of this plugin is loaded

User-provided ORCID iDs are sent to the public third party REST API on <https://orcid.org>. This plugin uses the REST API located at `https://orcid.org/####-####-####-####`. It is necessary to provide an ORCID iD to identify an ORCID record you wish to use when displaying ORCID record information on a WordPress post, page, or site.
