Data Retention: 
All logs are stored as WordPress transients and automatically deleted after 7 days. Administrators can disable logging entirely in settings.
Right to Erasure:

Anti-Brute Force, Login Fraud Detector WordPress plugin is a security plugin that detects and blocks malicious IP addresses attempting to log into WordPress sites with real-time intelligence data from Criminal IP. 
Hackers attempting brute-force attacks on WordPress sites do not use normal IP addresses. Rather, they use VPN, Proxy, Tor, Hosting IP, etc. to avoid tracking. Criminal IP is an IP address-based intelligence search engine platform that scans worldwide IP addresses daily and collects such malicious information. 
The number of detectable login attempts varies depending on the plan being used by the connected Criminal IP account. Users of the Free membership plan can use up to 500 login IP detections per month for free.
<h4>Block Login IP Address Options</h4>
VPN IP – When attempting to log in using a VPN 
Tor IP – When attempting to log in from a Tor browser 
Proxy IP – When attempting to log in using Proxy 
Hosting IP – When attempting to log in from the IP address of a hosting server
<h4>Additional Features</h4>
Whitelist: Specific IP addresses can be added to the whitelist to allow login. 
Login Wait Time: Users who are eventually restricted from logging in can try again after the set login wait time. 
Blocked IP List: Allows you to view a list of all IP addresses subject to login restrictions. The items that may be seen are as follows. 
IP address 
Geographic Information (Country) 
Reason for Login Restriction (Tor/VPN/Proxy/Hosting) 
Detected Date and Time
<h4>Installation</h4>
Installing the Criminal IP Anti-Brute Force, Login Fraud Detector plug-in is very simple. 
1. Go to the ‘Plugin’ menu on the WordPress dashboard. 
2. Search ‘Criminal IP’ or ‘Criminal IP Brute Force’ in the search window. 
3. Click the ‘Install and activate’ button. 
4. When the plugin is activated, an icon with the Criminal IP logo will be displayed on the WordPress dashboard sidebar. Click the icon to go to the dashboard and click the ‘Issue API Key’ button to go to Criminal IP. 
5. Create a Criminal IP account, log in, and create an API key in My Page. 
6. Copy and paste the issued API key into the ‘Criminal IP API key’ input column on the plugin settings tab. 
7. On the Settings tab, set the login limit target and login wait time. Click ‘Save Changes’ to finish setting up the plugin. 
Please report any new features or bugs of the plugin through Criminal IP’s Customer Support. You can also contact support@aispera.com.
