Data is ubiquitous. And with the threat of data breach looming, authorities have tightened the laws to ensure customer’s data remains safe and intact. GDPR is a regulation that gives EU citizens full control over their data, and how it should be used.
Companies that are based in the EU or the ones who process data of European residents are bound to abide by the regulations imposed by GDPR. Failing to comply with the GDPR laws can incur a company fine up to €20 million, or 4% annual global turnover – whichever is higher.
The high stakes leave no room for non-compliance of the GDPR. And to help Magento merchants make their store compliant with the laws of GDPR, we developed Magento 2 GDPR extension. It will help store owners obtain all the necessary consent from users and save them from breaching the GDPR.
Here’s how:
Account & Data Deletion Request:
The right to erasure (also known as the right to be forgotten) is an important GDPR principle under which, users can initiate a request to have personal data erased.
MageDelight GDPR Magento 2 Extension will enable your customers to request an account deletion request. Once they do, you will be notified via email. You can approve or disapprove such requests with just a few clicks.
Obtain Privacy Consent:
Another important GDPR principle is the purpose of limitation. Meaning, you should only collect data for a specific, and legitimate purpose. Furthermore, you must inform your customers about the purpose and limit the usage only to fulfill it.
By integrating our Magento 2 GDPR Compliance Extension, you can seek your customer’s consent before processing their data. This check can be done at various stages: at checkout, registration, contact page, or newsletter subscription option.
Cookie Policy:
GDPR also emphasizes to seek the consent of users before processing their information. It needs to be specific and explicit.
Through EU General Data Protection Regulation for Magento 2, you can request customer’s consent for cookie policy by displaying an elegant bar on the front-end. You can customize the cookie bar’s position, color, description, and button text. Moreover, you can also prescribe the cookie expiry date. This feature will restrict your users from accessing your website unless they accept the cookie policy.
Apart from this, there are several other features of MageDelight’s EU Cookie and Privacy Extension that will make your store fully compliant with the GDPR. What’s more, with every MageDelight extension you purchase, you get free lifetime updates and 90 days of complimentary support. This means we will keep updating the extension as and when the GDPR policy is revised so that your customer’s data remains secure.
