External services
This plugin connects to Pikit services to provide online booking.
Service: Pikit online booking (https://pikit.io)
What the service is used for:
- Loading the official booking widget JavaScript on your website
- Opening the booking flow when a visitor clicks a Pikit Button
- Linking your WordPress site to your Pikit business account via an installation code
What data is sent and when:
- When the embed is enabled, your site loads scripts from
https://book.pikit.io(including your installation code aswindow.PIKIT_TOKEN). - When a visitor interacts with the booking widget, data is sent directly between the visitor and Pikit according to Pikit’s terms and privacy policy (appointment details, contact information, etc.).
- This plugin stores your installation code and embed settings in the WordPress database on your server. It does not send WordPress user data to Pikit by itself.
