In this check, we find third parties and ask the users to add it in the readme. So, we need to:
Detect external calls
Search in the readme to see that is added
And we make this reply to our users
Undocumented use of a 3rd Party or external service
We permit plugins to require the use of 3rd party (i.e. external) services, provided they are properly documented in a clear manner.
We require plugins that reach out to other services to disclose this, in clear and plain language, so users are aware of where data is being sent. This allows them to ensure that any legal issues with data transmissions are covered. This is true even if you are the 3rd party service.
In order to do so, you must update your readme to do the following:
clearly explain that your plugin is relying on a 3rd party as a service and under what circumstances
provide a link to the service
provide a link to the services’ a terms of use and/or privacy policies
Remember, this is for your own legal protection. Use of services must be upfront and well documented.
