Privacy-first logging and compliance tools

Always Alert ships with a metadata-only operational log designed for notification assurance without storing full submissions.

The shipped controls include:

• configurable retention from 1 to 365 days;

• status, reason, source, subject, short recipient summary, method, and timestamps;

• no stored email body, message HTML, attachment, raw header, or form-field content;

• CSV export with spreadsheet-formula hardening;

• manual log clearing;

• WordPress personal-data export and erasure integration;

• suggested WordPress privacy-policy text;

• complete settings, log, monitoring-state, and scheduled-event cleanup on uninstall.

The optional post-launch full submission copy is separate from the log and remains off by default.
