Privacy

WPGrock Appointment Booking stores customer name, email, phone, appointment information and optional booking messages submitted through the site. This information is stored locally in the WordPress database and is used to manage appointments and send booking notifications. The plugin does not transmit customer data to external services by default.

Site administrators should configure their privacy policy and data retention practices for their specific business and jurisdiction.
