The personal information custom feature is designed to help [https://simplybook.me SimplyBook.me] users to protect their client's and patient's data. It does not replace user's own security procedures but enhances [https://simplybook.me SimplyBook.me] data security by using double authentication during login process for all users who access the system (users need to register their mobile phone number to receive authentication code SMS(you need SMS credits for this) or connect [[Special:MyLanguage/Custom_Features#Google_Authenticator | Google Authenticator]] using corresponding custom feature). This custom feature includes a “Timeout” setting which automatically logs user out to reduce the risk of unauthorized users accessing the system. 
The system blocks all access for [https://simplybook.me SimplyBook] support personnel further reducing access by unrelated people to the system. It is possible to further reduce exposure of personal information to unauthorized people by using the [[Special:MyLanguage/Custom_Features#Clean_History | Clean History custom feature]]. This way old data gets deleted and is therefore not accessible. 
'''Please note!'''

Please refer to relevant documentation in your country and get assistance from qualified advisors in the field of client/patient data protection.
