## Description

This plugin allows you to integrate [Sign In With Privacy Portal](https://privacyportal.org/for-business/products#sign-in-with-privacy-portal)
and [Subscribe Anonymously With Privacy Portal](https://privacyportal.org/for-business/products#subscribe-anonymously-with-privacy-portal)
with your site.

[Privacy Portal](https://privacyportal.org) is a privacy-focused OAuth 2.0 provider
and offers an integrated Mail Relay service to keep user emails private through 
Privacy Aliases.

Please check Privacy Portal’s [Privacy Policy](https://privacyportal.org/privacy)
and [Terms Of Service](https://privacyportal.org/tos) for more information.

### Sign In With Privacy Portal

[Privacy Portal](https://privacyportal.org) is an OAuth 2.0 Provider with Privacy
baked-in. When _Sign In With Privacy Portal_ is enabled, users can log in to your
site while preserving their privacy using the Privacy Portal OAuth provider. During
the login process, [Privacy Portal](https://privacyportal.org) protects user privacy
by generating email aliases (also known as Privacy Aliases) that relay emails to
users’ personal email addresses, keeping them private.

 1. The “Sign In With Privacy Portal” button will be displayed on your site. (It can
    be added to any page.)
 2. Visitors to your site can click on the button to initiate the login process.
 3. Once clicked, they will be redirected to the Privacy Portal web app to authorize
    access to your site.
 4. After authorization, users will be redirected back to your site. Existing users
    will be automatically logged into WordPress, while new users will be created in
    the WordPress database and then logged in.

### Subscribe Anonymously With Privacy Portal

When “Subscribe Anonymously with Privacy Portal” is enabled, users can subscribe
to your existing newsletter using email aliases instead of their personal email 
addresses. This feature does not replace your existing newsletter setup; instead,
it integrates with some popular newsletter plugins.

 1. The “Subscribe Anonymously” button will be displayed within your newsletter forms.(
    It can be added to any page.)
 2. Visitors to your site can click on the button to enroll anonymously in your newsletter
    without having to enter their email address.
 3. Once clicked, they will be redirected to the Privacy Portal web app to authorize
    access to your site.
 4. After authorization, Privacy Portal generates an email alias that is used to enroll
    the user in your newsletter. Note that the user remains anonymous throughout the
    process.

### Important Notes

 * With Privacy Portal SSO, users will be redirected to the Privacy Portal web app,
   where they need to log in with their Privacy Portal account to authorize access
   to your site. If they don’t have an account, they can create a free one during
   this process.
 * When sending an email to a user’s email alias, your email is delivered to Privacy
   Portal’s Mail Relay servers, which privately redirect it to the user’s personal
   email address. Mail Relay does not store emails; it processes them in-memory 
   and can add a layer of encryption when configured by users.

## Installation

 1. Upload to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin
 3. Visit Settings > Privacy Portal SSO and configure to meet your needs

## FAQ

### What is the Redirect URI?

Privacy Portal’s OAUTH2 servers require a whitelist of redirect URIs for security
purposes. When using Privacy Portal SSO, there are two redirect URIs that you need
to add depending on the features you’re looking to use. You must add both redirect
URIs in your app configuration if you’d like to use both “Sign In With Privacy Portal”
and “Subscribe Anonymously”.

You can find the redirect URIs on the plugin’s settings page.

### Is the Privacy Portal OAuth provider free?

Privacy Portal has a generous free plan that covers the needs of most small to medium
sized websites. It also offers a free upgrade for sites that fall under our _Freedom-
Tech_ discount. [Learn more](https://privacyportal.org/for-business/products#pricing).
