Your data stays with you, on every plan
CaliDiary keeps bookings and your customers' details in your own WordPress website's database. They never reach our servers, so we cannot see them, share them or sell them. Your customers' trust stays with you.
For your own CaliDiary account, we keep only what we need to sell you a plan and help you, and we do not sell your personal data. Where every piece of data lives · Privacy policy
