<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin may process a visitor IP address to determine checkout eligibility. With MaxMind selected, the visitor IP address is sent to MaxMind GeoIP2 web services. With Cloudflare selected, the plugin reads the CF-IPCountry request header. The visitor IP address and detected country are stored in a WordPress transient for 24 hours.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can use external geolocation services depending on the provider selected by the site administrator.</p>
<h4>MaxMind GeoIP2 Web Services</h4>
<p>When MaxMind is selected as the geolocation provider, this plugin connects to the MaxMind GeoIP2 Country web service to determine the country associated with a visitor IP address. This is required to decide whether the visitor is allowed to access the WooCommerce checkout according to the configured country rules.</p>
<p>The plugin sends the visitor IP address to MaxMind when a non-admin visitor reaches the WooCommerce checkout with a non-empty cart and no valid cached country result exists. The plugin also sends the current admin request IP address to MaxMind when an administrator uses the provider test button in the plugin settings. The request uses the MaxMind Account ID and License Key configured by the site administrator.</p>
<p>This service is provided by MaxMind, Inc.</p>

Privacy policy: https://www.maxmind.com/en/privacy-policy</p>
<h4>Cloudflare</h4>
<p>When Cloudflare is selected as the geolocation provider, this plugin does not call a Cloudflare API. It reads the CF-IPCountry HTTP request header that Cloudflare may add to requests passing through Cloudflare. This header contains a country code used to decide whether the visitor is allowed to access the WooCommerce checkout according to the configured country rules.</p>
<p>The plugin reads the CF-IPCountry header when a non-admin visitor reaches the WooCommerce checkout with a non-empty cart and no valid cached country result exists. The plugin also checks the current admin request for this header when an administrator uses the provider test button in the plugin settings.</p>
<p>This service is provided by Cloudflare, Inc.</p>
