The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Union intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the EU. It becomes enforceable from the 25th of May 2018.
The Right of Access (Article 15 of GDPR) gives citizens the right to get access to their personal data and information about how these personal data are being processed. A Data Controller (You) has to provide, upon request, an overview of the categories of data that are being processed (Article 15(1)(b)) as well as a copy of the actual data (Article 15(3)).
PERSONAL DATA REPORTS
Our extension will provide your customers with an automated process of requesting and retrieving their personal data with the following steps:
Step 1. Customer visits a GDPR request form and submits a request by providing their email address.
Step 2. If email is valid and belongs to an existing customer a confirmation email is sent.
Step 3. If the confirmation link is clicked, customer is presented with a confirmation screen and a personal data reports is generated for them.
Step 4. Customer receives their personal data report by email.
RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN
The extension provides with your customers with an automated process to request their personal data removal. Once the account ownership is verified, the extension will anonymise some data (user table date) and delete some date (user meta table).
Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of GDPR Personal Data Reports, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.
In the search field type “GDPR Personal Data Reports” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found our eCommerce plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.
The manual installation method involves downloading our plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.
Automatic updates will prompt you to update the plugin from time to time.
Once the plugin is installed and activated please visit Settings -> GDPR Settings and configure all fields according to your needs.
To include any of the user and product metadata in the report you need to set them to ‘Yes’ and add corresponding label text in the ‘GDPR User Fields’ and ‘GDPR Post Fields’ tabs.
If you want to allow users/customers to delete their accounts automatically, please set the ‘Right to be Forgotten’ setting to yet.
More details about the configuration fields:
