Privacy

We are committed to transparency about the data Swift Currency collects and how it is handled.

What Data Is Collected?

  1. Logging Data (Optional, disabled by default)

    • Exchange-rate update attempts and results
    • API call errors and responses
    • System events and warnings
    • User ID (if applicable)
    • IP address (anonymized via wp_privacy_anonymize_ip())
    • Timestamp
  2. Exchange Rate Data (Always collected)

    • Current exchange rates from the configured providers
    • Historical rate data for reporting
    • Rate update timestamps

All information is stored locally inside your WordPress database. The only outbound requests are the external rate lookups listed above, which contain no user data. The front end sets a swiftcurrency_selected cookie solely to remember the visitor’s last chosen currency; no other tracking cookies are written.

How Is Data Used?

Logging data is used exclusively to troubleshoot issues, monitor plugin health, and debug provider/API integrations.

Data Retention

  • Logging Data: Stored for 30 days by default (configurable under Swift Currency Settings Advanced Logging).
  • Rate History: Stored for 1 year (not user configurable).

Old data is automatically pruned using the plugin’s WP-Cron cleanup tasks.

How to Disable or Delete Data

  • Disable Logging: Go to Swift Currency Settings Advanced and toggle off ”Enable Logging”.
  • Delete All Data on Uninstall: In the same screen, enable ”Delete Data on Uninstall” before deactivating and deleting the plugin to remove all plugin data/tables.

User Rights

Users can:

  • Access logging data stored in their database
  • Delete cached/logged data via the ”Clear Cache” tools or by uninstalling with the delete option enabled
  • Disable logging so no diagnostic data is stored
  • Export data via standard WordPress privacy tools if integrated

GDPR Compliance

Swift Currency is designed to meet GDPR expectations:

  • ✅ No user information is sent to external services
  • ✅ Only a functional swiftcurrency_selected cookie is stored to remember the chosen currency
  • ✅ IP addresses inside logs are anonymized
  • ✅ Data retention windows are configurable
  • ✅ Users can delete their data at any time
  • ✅ Logging can be fully disabled

Ändringslogg

1.0.3

  • Fix: Cron auto-updates no longer silently skip when a Pro-tier rate provider (fixer, currencylayer, openexchangerates, exchangerate-api) is configured but the Pro add-on is not active. The scheduler now falls back to ECB automatically and logs a warning, so exchange rates are never left stale.
  • Security: Improved output escaping across admin and frontend templates — CSS class ternaries, aria attributes, number_format(), human_time_diff(), and translated strings now consistently use esc_attr()/esc_html().
  • Security: register_setting() now includes description and show_in_rest=false parameters.

1.0.2

  • Security: Added proper uninstall.php handler for WordPress.org compliance.
  • Security: Fixed database query escaping in installer for enhanced security.
  • Security: Added HTML escaping in admin JavaScript to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
  • Enhancement: Improved translation compatibility with WordPress.org plugin repository expectations.
  • Compatibility: Ensured full WordPress.org Plugin Repository compliance.
