Privacy

This plugin processes personal data as part of running bookings on your site.
All data stays in your WordPress database; the plugin makes no calls to
external services. What it stores:

• Booking data you collect through the form (names, email addresses and any
  fields you configure), for as long as you keep the bookings.
• Consent log: when a visitor submits a booking, the plugin records which
  consent checkboxes were accepted together with a timestamp, the visitor’s IP
  address and browser user agent, as proof of consent. The optional data
  retention settings anonymise the IP address after the configured period.
• Audit log: administrative changes to bookings and attendees are recorded
  with the acting user, IP address and user agent, so changes remain traceable.
• Rate limiting: public booking submissions are counted per client IP using
  a short-lived, hashed counter (a transient). No raw IP is persisted for this
  purpose and no cookie is involved.
• Security cookie: see the FAQ above for the sinnvoll_bf_cid cookie.

The plugin integrates with WordPress’ personal-data export and erasure tools
(Tools → Export/Erase Personal Data) and registers suggested wording in the
Privacy Policy editor (Settings → Privacy). Reviewing and publishing your
site’s privacy notice remains your responsibility.
