External services

This plugin connects to the BookingFish.ca REST API (https://bookingfish.ca/wp-json/bookingfish/v1) to authenticate your account and retrieve your booking calendar embed codes.

What data is sent and when:

Your email address and password are sent to BookingFish.ca once at login to obtain a secure authentication token. Your password is never stored on your WordPress site.
A bearer token (valid 30 days) is sent with each subsequent API call: fetching embed codes, syncing, and logging out.
If you choose to submit feedback when deactivating the plugin, your site name, site URL, WordPress version, plugin version, and the reason you selected are sent to BookingFish.ca.

FAQ
