Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about The Bonnie Situation – Contact Form 7 Database & Auto-Delete

No. Capture runs after mail handling and is wrapped so a storage failure is logged silently rather than breaking the form.

Not by default. IP storage is off out of the box. Bonnie Pro adds the option to anonymise (mask the last octet / last 80 bits) instead of storing the full address.

No. The free core is delete-only: submissions past their retention window are permanently deleted, with no second store to manage. Bonnie Pro adds an optional trash workflow — soft-delete with a restore window and a hard cap that force-deletes trashed entries.

No. Contact Form 7 emails each submission and keeps nothing in the database. To keep a record you need a storage plugin — Bonnie stores every submission, then deletes it when your retention window ends.

Flamingo and CFDB7 save submissions but do not expire them: entries stay in your database until someone deletes them by hand, and neither removes its data when uninstalled. Flamingo also records the sender's IP address and user agent by default. Bonnie stores no IP by default, deletes each submission automatically after the number of days you choose, logs every purge, and supports both the WordPress personal-data exporter and eraser.

Yes. Go to Bonnie → Settings → Import. Bonnie finds Flamingo and CFDB7 data in your database (the plugins can be active or deactivated) and imports it in batches. Imported entries follow your current settings: IP addresses, user agents and referrers are dropped unless you've turned them on, spam is skipped unless you capture spam, and entries already older than your retention window are skipped. Running it again only imports what is new. Nothing in the source plugin is changed — delete the old entries there once you've checked the import.

As short a time as you actually need them. GDPR's storage-limitation principle (and the Australian Privacy Act's equivalent) says personal data shouldn't be kept longer than its purpose requires; for enquiry forms, many sites choose 30 to 90 days. Bonnie enforces whatever window you set. This is not legal advice.

Retention runs daily via WP-Cron. On sites with little traffic, trigger wp-cron.php from a real system cron so the sweep fires on schedule.
