Service plans

The free plan is assigned on connect. Higher tiers (Pro, Agency, Enterprise) are managed by the Botpass service at botpass.io. The plugin displays your current plan label for reference; any paid limits or quotas are enforced by the external API, not by locking features in the plugin code.

Local analytics

The plugin stores local analytics in the database table {prefix}botpass_analytics with post URL, bot slug, event type, and a SHA-256 hash of the visitor IP. Retention defaults to 12 months and can be filtered with botpass_analytics_retention_months.

Consent

No data is sent to Botpass until a site administrator explicitly accepts the connection screen and clicks Connect. You can disconnect at any time from Botpass → Settings.
