Eventonomy

Privacy & GDPR (Pro) Pro

Pro feature. Available in Eventonomy Pro.

Eventonomy Pro adds one kind of personal data of its own: a member's followed events and organizers (the Pro "follow / save" feature, stored in the evnm_follows table). Like the Free plugin, Pro plugs this into WordPress's built-in privacy tools so it is covered by a standard data-subject request.

This page covers only the Pro follow data. RSVPs and orders - the data every event carries - are handled by the Free plugin and documented in Privacy & GDPR (Data Export & Erase).

How It Works

Pro registers its own exporter and eraser, both named "Eventonomy Pro (followed events & organizers)", under:

  • Tools → Export Personal Data
  • Tools → Erase Personal Data

They run in the same request as Free's exporter/eraser - you do not run anything separately. Enter the person's email, and both Free's event data and Pro's follow data are included in the one report or erasure.

Registered members only. Follows always belong to a logged-in member account, so Pro's export and erase match by member account. A pure guest (no WordPress account) has no follows, so there is nothing for Pro to export or erase for them - their RSVP/order data is still covered by the Free tools.

What an Export Contains

An export returns one group, "Followed events & organizers", with one entry per follow:

Field Meaning
Type What was followed - an event or an organizer
Object ID The id of the followed event or organizer
Notifications Whether the member opted in to notifications for this follow
Followed since When the follow was created

Large follow lists are paginated automatically (50 records per page).

What an Erase Removes - and What It Keeps

  • Follows are deleted outright. A follow is pure personal preference data with no retention obligation, so an erase request removes every one of the member's follows completely.
  • Organizer earnings are kept. If the person is also an organizer, their earnings and payout ledger (evnm_earnings, evnm_payout_debts) are a financial record, kept under the same tax/accounting legal basis that protects order records. These key on the organizer entity, not on the member's personal profile, and are intentionally never exported or erased by this request - exactly as Free treats completed orders.
