Data Categories

What data does Wix Bookings process?

In typical use, the following data categories arise. Which ones are relevant for you depends on your setup and scope of use.

  • Guest name & email address
  • Appointment and timezone data
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Pre-screening answers (lead qualification)
  • Calendar sync tokens (Google / Microsoft)

Data Subjects

Who is affected by the processing?

Under Art. 30 GDPR, you must document the categories of data subjects per processing activity. In typical use, these include:

  • Applicants booking an interview slot
  • Prospects scheduling a demo call
  • Clients / patients booking a consultation
  • Existing customers scheduling a follow-up

Concrete Impact

What does this mean in practice?

A US authority could theoretically request a list of all persons who have scheduled an appointment with your company, including applicants, clients or patients. The CLOUD Act allows this without involving German courts.

Note: This is a risk description, not a specific incident. Whether access occurred in your case depends on many factors. What can be documented: the risk must be named in your TIA and mitigated with additional measures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wix Bookings & Privacy: FAQ

Is Wix Bookings GDPR-compliant?

Wix Bookings can be used in a GDPR-compliant way if a valid DPA is in place, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are signed, and a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) has been conducted. However, the provider is headquartered in the US (Wix.com Ltd), so the CLOUD Act and FISA 702 continue to apply. This is true even when data is stored in an EU data centre. For sensitive data or strict oversight (public authorities, healthcare, large corporates), switching to an EU provider is often preferred.

Who is the contractual partner for Wix Bookings?

The contract chain includes: Wix.com Ltd (Israel, Tel Aviv) · AWS / Google Cloud (US-Subprozessoren). The legal parent entity is decisive for data protection. Even if an EU subsidiary signs the DPA, a US subprocessor in the chain can trigger third-country transfer obligations.

What EU alternatives are there to Wix Bookings?

There are several GDPR-compliant EU alternatives. They are listed under "EU Alternatives" on this page. The selection is tailored to the feature set of Wix Bookings (Terminbuchung). meetergo covers the core workflow and can fully replace Wix Bookings in many cases.

Where is Wix Bookings data stored?

According to provider information: AWS / GCP (Global, primär US/IL). Note: even an EU data centre does not protect against the CLOUD Act when the parent company is in the US. This is the core finding of the Schrems II decision.

What does the CLOUD Act mean for Wix Bookings users?

The US CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act, 2018) allows US authorities to request data from US companies regardless of the physical storage location. If Wix.com Ltd is subject to the CLOUD Act, US law enforcement could theoretically access Wix Bookings data stored in Frankfurt without involving EU authorities. The EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 therefore require additional safeguards or a switch to an EU provider.

Do I need a TIA for Wix Bookings?

Yes, in most cases. Since Schrems II (July 2020), a Transfer Impact Assessment is mandatory for US providers when personal data is transferred. The TIA documents US law, practical risks (NSA access, subpoenas) and additional measures (encryption, pseudonymisation). Only a valid TIA makes the use of Wix Bookings legally defensible.
