PrestaShop GDPR tab on the header

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a law implemented for European countries on 25th May 2018 to enhance the data privacy of the people.

Every online business was enforced to comply with this law and it gave EU citizens better control over their private information. Any business failing to follow the GDPR law would be charged a heavy penalty.

With this law, people would be able to check what information does a website have about them and they would be able to modify the details they want to share with a business.

Realizing the extreme importance of GDPR in the EU countries, Knowband comes up with the GDPR- Rights of the Individual addon.

What does PrestaShop GDPR addon offers?

Once installed, the PrestaShop GDPR module places a GDPR tab on the header that has the following options:

1. Right of Access to Personal Data

2. Right to Data Portability

3. Right to be forgotten

4. Right to Data Rectification

5. Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling

6. Right to be Anonymous

7. Right to Restriction of Processing (Coming soon)

Let’s try to get insights into each option-

1. Right of Access to Personal Data

Through this option, the customer can raise a request to the merchant to get access to their personal data, by submitting their email address.

The user receives the confirmation email. Once confirmed, the report is sent to the user.

From the backend of the module, you can check the requests of the users who have raised the data access request, under the GDPR Personal Data Request tab.

2. Right to Data Portability

Through this option, the customer can download his/her data in a CV format. This tab consists of three options named as-

Personal Information

Addresses

Orders

The customer needs to head over to the desired option and they will get the option to download your data, after confirming the email address.

The requests can be seen under the GDPR Data Portability tab in the backend of the module.

3. Right to be forgotten

This option allows customers to permanently delete their account details from the website.

Once performed, the user details would be removed from the store and they would be required to create a new account if they wish to come back to the store.

The account deletion requests can be seen under Data Forgot Request tab.

4. Right to Data Rectification

This option allows customers to rectify their existing information captured by the brand. It allows editing personal information, address and the option to update the password.

The merchant can check the rectification requests under GDPR Rectification Request.

5. Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling

Through this option, consumers can check which services have they been automatically subscribed to. Upon request, the consumers have the option to choose only those automation services which they would want to receive.

6. Right to be Anonymous

If a customer does not want to share his original email address with the brand and want to remain anonymous, they can opt for this option.

Upon submitting this request, the existing email address of the user will be replaced by a system-generated email address. These requests can be looked under the GDPR Anonymous Request tab.

7. The Right to Restriction of Processing

This option is not available to use as of now but would soon be reflected in the module.

Let’s now come to some general settings of the PrestaShop GDPR addon.

Questo modulo GDPR renderà anonimi i dati memorizzati solo nel database. Il processo di anonimizzazione dei dati è simile alla richiesta di cancellazione dei dati.

Se un cliente richiede di rendere anonime le proprie informazioni, l'amministratore può selezionare l'opzione per abilitare / disabilitare le modifiche agli ordini precedenti. Se questa impostazione è abilitata dall'interfaccia di amministrazione del componente GPRPR Prestashop, i dettagli dell'ordine precedente verranno sovrascritti.

Nota:

1) Si consiglia di consultare il proprio team legale prima di abilitare questa impostazione. Dopo aver cancellato i dati personali del cliente, non può essere recuperato. L'amministratore ha la possibilità di abilitare l'impostazione dell'ordine di cancellazione che è stata spiegata nell'argomento successivo. 2) Nel caso in cui si condividano i dati del cliente con fornitori di servizi di terzi, è necessario eliminare manualmente i dati del cliente. A partire da ora, questo modulo non supporta la funzionalità per eliminare i dati condivisi con i fornitori di servizi di terze parti. Esempio: se si utilizza MailChimp per l'invio di e-mail promozionali, è necessario eliminare manualmente i dettagli del cliente dall'elenco MailChimp.

9) Abilita per eliminare gli ordini:

Se un cliente ha richiesto la richiesta di cancellazione dei dati in base al GDPR, l'amministratore ha la possibilità di eliminare i dati personali del cliente insieme ai precedenti dettagli dell'ordine.

GDPR: All you need to know about the law and it’s effect on eCommerce

The General Data Protection Regulation is not a revolution but it represents a big change for retailers. ~ Giovanni Buttarelli

One of the best things about eCommerce is that it allows even a small enterprise to expand their reach beyond the borders. The recent boost in the industry has definitely brought the entire globe at the fingertip of the e-sellers. However, trading across the border comes with its own complexity. The General Data Protection Regulation of European Union is the latest concern of the industry.

It is mandatory for all the eCommerce that collects or processes the data of EU citizen to comply with the new law. Even if the company is not a part of the EU, but deals into the personal details of the EU citizens is required to adapt to the GDPR. Is the concept of GDPR bugging you? Then, let us start with the basics of the same.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is the new data privacy law of European Union. The law can impact the ways by which the companies collect the personal data of the customers and handle them. GDPR will come into force throughout the European Union on May 25, 2018. GDPR will replace existing data protection laws. The introduction of the regulation will bring about significant changes and will have a wide impact on the organizations worldwide that collects and uses customer’s data.

In case, any company fails to comply with the legislation, it will be fined 4% of turnover or 20 Million Euro, whichever amount is higher. In case of data breaches, the company should report it within 72 hours. Such company can demonstrate their security and data privacy procedures at a moment’s notice.

In short, GDPR gives more rights to the customers on their personal data. People will now get the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of their data.

What are rights offered to the customers under GDPR?

Listed below are some of the rights that the customers will get once this law comes into force.

The right of access to personal data – The customers can retrieve their personal details that the eCommerce store has by sending a request for the same.

Right to erasure – The customers get an option to have their data anonymized/deleted from the database of the eCommerce site.

Right to data portability – This right facilitates the customers to export their account data in a CSV format and get the same transferred to another data processor.

Email Opt-ins in Form – A lot of companies use a pre-checked ‘Policy acceptance’ box in order to gain the consent of the users. As the customer registers or checks out from the site with the pre-checked box, the site gets the permission use their personal details. The silent or soft opt-in will not be acceptable for GDPR consent after the commencement of the law. Your website forms should ask the customers to check the boxes and provide you the permission.

Right to restrict processing – This option allows the customers to restrict the site from using their personal detail anymore for any purpose.

Right to be Informed – The companies need to inform the customers what are planning to do with the data at the time of collecting their information. The details of ‘where that data will be processed’, ‘how long you plan to hold on to the data’ and ‘the details of their rights under the GDPR’ and other related details should be clearly written in simple language. In short (under Article 13), you need to specify the source and purpose of collecting the customer’s personal data.

Right of Data Rectification – (Under Article 16) The customers can request the rectification of their data if required. You need to know everywhere in the organization where the personal data of an individual is saved, so that, it can be updated if requested by the customer. You should stay of aware of the third-parties that are sharing the information. If the rectification request is initiated by the customer, then, you’ll have to inform the third-parties the rectify the same.

Right to Object – In case, the customer objectifies, the company should immediately stop the direct marketing. A person should not be marketed to is a non-trivial undertaking. Hence, it can be probably achieved by a centralized CRM or by creating a single master list of objectors that all systems can refer to.

Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling – (Article 22) The processes that use profiling must also allow manual override.

GDPR makes it the responsibility of the site to protect the data of the customers. The organization has to make sure that the store visitors, as well as the customers, can exercise all the rights they have. In order to do this, the eCommerce sites are required to provide a dedicated GDPR account page to the customer. For the Prestashop eCommerce store owners, Knowband offers an easy means to incorporate such a page on their site.

How can Prestashop GDPR plugin help you?
