Such welcome news - GDPR modules
Surely you've heard much talk about GDPR. We have recently received a number of emails with requests for Magento solutions compatible to GDPR requirements. And now you see the results.
GDPR extensions are available both for Magento and Magento 2. You can get these modules as a separate package as well as a part of Argento theme.
There are features you must have if you're running an online business for EU citizens. The GDPR module includes the most of them. In a nutshell:
- Ability to add opt-in checkboxes for collecting user consents
- Ability to show checkboxes in various forms such as registration page, Contact Us, newsletter subscription, product review page.
- Flexible configuration of GDPR-friendly forms.
- Privacy Tools page for registered customers where they can see all given consents as well as request the data deletion.
Much more information you can find on the module page: M1 GDPR and M2 GDPR.
