External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services:

BingoRentals API (your own installation)

The plugin communicates with the BingoRentals API URL you configure in Settings → BingoRentals. This is your own self-hosted or SaaS installation of BingoRentals.

• What it is used for: car search, fleet listing, locations, pricing, creating reservations, and (if enabled) AI Concierge chat.
• What data is sent: search parameters (dates, location IDs, category), reservation details (customer name, email, phone, dates, selected car/extras), tenant slug, and — when AI Concierge is enabled — chat messages and language preference.
• When: whenever a visitor uses the booking form, fleet widget, or (if enabled) the AI chat. No Gemini API key is stored or sent by this WordPress plugin.
• Service URL: the API URL you configure (typically your BingoRentals site, e.g. https://bingorentals.com)
• Terms / privacy: you control this service — publish and link your own terms and privacy policy for your BingoRentals installation.

BingoRentals AI Concierge / Google Gemini (optional)

When AI Concierge widget is enabled in plugin Appearance settings (default: off) and the tenant also enables AI Concierge in the BingoRentals dashboard, chat requests are proxied from WordPress to your BingoRentals API (ai-concierge/status and ai-concierge/chat). Your BingoRentals server may then call Google Gemini to generate assistant replies and to run booking tools (quotes, pending reservations).

• What it is used for: optional customer support / booking assistance on pages that include [wpcr_car_rental].
• What data is sent: chat message text and language; if the visitor provides booking details in chat, those may be sent to create a pending reservation. BingoRentals may forward conversational content to Google Gemini. Visitor IP may be used by BingoRentals for rate limiting.
• When: only after an administrator enables the widget in WordPress and AI Concierge is configured on the BingoRentals tenant; only when a visitor opens the chat and sends messages.
• Google Gemini API Terms of Service: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

To disable this feature, go to Settings → BingoRentals → Appearance and set AI Concierge widget to No. You can also disable AI Concierge in the BingoRentals tenant dashboard.

ipapi.co (IP-based language detection)

When automatic language detection is enabled (default: on), the plugin sends the visitor’s IP address to ipapi.co to determine their country. This is used solely to select the default display language (Romanian for Romania/Moldova, English for all others). No personal data beyond the IP address is transmitted. Visitors can override the detected language manually at any time.

• Service URL: https://ipapi.co
• What is sent: visitor IP address (implicit in the HTTP request)
• When: on each page load where the booking form is displayed, if auto-detect language is enabled
• Terms of Service: https://ipapi.co/terms/
• Privacy Policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/

To disable this feature, go to Settings → BingoRentals and set Auto-detect Language to No.
