Great plugin, but it’s a GDPR user data nightmare!
-
Currently there is no way to bulk delete expired appointments. In terms of GDPR data laws in the EU, this is very bad as the plugin is storing all the old appointments with the clients email addresses and possibly any other identifiable data.
What is more, administrators might not know this is the case because you only discover the appointments if you search in the past, something administrators have little reason to do.
I’d like to make two suggestions to remedy this problem with the plugin:
1. Provide a bulk delete feature to enable the easy selection and deletion of expired appointments.
2. Create a check box settings which enables the auto-deletion of appointments that have expired, with an additional settings where the admin can choose how long to keep the expired appointments after the event date, for example, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, etc.
Bearing in mind that administrators using this plugin may well be contravening GDPR law without even knowing it, I highly recommend the above suggested features or something similar to make it easier for admins to delete expired and unnecessary client data.
