Additional custom Add-ons are available. ### How secure are payments in Contract Pilot? Contract Pilot follows WordPress security best practices for data handling and access control. Payment security and PCI scope depend on the gateway, processor, and deployment you choose, so review your provider’s current compliance and security documentation. ### What about privacy and where is my data stored? Business and accounting information you enter (contacts, documents, transactions, settings, and related metadata) is stored in your WordPress site’s database and files under your control. By default, Contract Pilot does not send that content to the plugin author’s servers or third parties for processing. If you use optional integrations, hosting backups, or external services outside this plugin, those services follow their own privacy and retention policies. ### What would help support this open source project?
