<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>This plugin stores data locally in your WordPress database only. No data is transmitted to the plugin author or any third-party service by this plugin itself.</p>
<h4>Data stored locally</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Consent log table</strong> (<code>{prefix}darwin_gdpr_consent_log</code>): When a visitor saves their consent choices, the plugin records a SHA-256 hash of the visitor’s IP address, the browser user-agent string, and the encoded consent payload. No plain-text IP addresses are stored. Entries are automatically deleted after the configured retention period (default: 180 days).</li>
<li><strong>Aggregate metrics table</strong> (<code>{prefix}darwin_gdpr_metrics</code>): Stores daily totals of banner views and consent accepts as integer counts. No visitor identifiers of any kind are stored in this table.</li>
<li><strong>Plugin options</strong>: Localized content strings and appearance settings are stored in the WordPress options table. These contain no visitor data.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Third-party service data</h4>
<p>When optional integrations are configured by the site administrator, scripts from third-party services are loaded in the visitor’s browser. Those services may collect data as described in their respective privacy policies, which are linked in the External Services section above. No data is sent to those services until the visitor grants the relevant consent category.</p>
<p>Site administrators should ensure their own privacy policy reflects the data practices described above, particularly the storage of hashed IP addresses and user-agent strings in the consent log.</p>

<p>Easily make your WordPress site compliant with privacy laws (GDPR, LGPD, CCPA) by enabling the Toolz CMP consent banner in your footer. No public links, no branding, no tracking, and 100% privacy-first.</p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong><br />
– The admin generates a Banner ID at: <a href="https://consentmode.toolz.at/en/generator" rel="nofollow ugc">Generate Banner (Toolz.at)</a><br />
– The plugin only enables the banner if you activate it and provide a valid ID.<br />
– No data is collected, no external branding, and no public links are added.</p>
<p>Ativa o banner CMP da Toolz no rodapé com um ID único, apenas quando ativado e configurado pelo administrador. Não adiciona links públicos, branding ou rastreamento. Ideal para consentimento, privacidade e compliance.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin uses an external service (Toolz Consent Mode) to display and manage the cookie/consent banner.</p>
<p>Why: The script is loaded from Toolz’s servers to simplify the setup process directly from WordPress, so you don’t need to manually copy and configure code on your site.</p>
<p>Alternative: If you prefer, you can generate and add the banner script manually using the official generator at: https://consentmode.toolz.at/en/generator</p>
<p>What data is sent and when:<br />
– Every time a page is loaded, the browser requests the banner script and configuration from Toolz servers.<br />
– Only standard technical information is transmitted (such as IP address, browser type, and referer), which happens with any normal web request.<br />
– No personal data is collected by the plugin itself.</p>
<p>Service provider: Toolz.at<br />

<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin only enables an external script when activated and configured. No data is collected or tracked by this plugin. Privacy policy and user communication are the responsibility of the site administrator.</p>
