	231	+== Frequently Asked Questions ==
	232	+
	233	+= Will I ever get double-booked with Timetics? =
	234	+
	235	+Never. Timetics automatically blocks confirmed time slots in real time, so the same time slot cannot be booked twice. Your appointment calendar is always accurate — no manual cleanup required.
	236	+
	237	+= How does Timetics compare to Calendly? =
	238	+
	239	+Unlike Calendly, Timetics is a WordPress-native appointment booking plugin. Your booking data lives on your own server, not a third-party SaaS platform. Timetics is free with no per-seat monthly fee, supports unlimited bookings and team members, includes Stripe payments, Google Meet, Zoom, WooCommerce, and AI-powered scheduling. Features that cost significantly more (or are unavailable) in Calendly. You also get a visual seat map for events, which Calendly does not offer at any price tier.
	240	+
	241	+= Is Timetics GDPR compliant? =
	242	+
	243	+Yes. All appointment booking data is stored on your own WordPress installation and server. No personal data is shared with external services unless you explicitly enable optional integrations (Google Calendar, Zoom, Stripe, etc.). This makes Timetics a solid choice for businesses operating under GDPR in the EU, and a strong foundation for HIPAA-conscious healthcare practices.
	244	+
