The 25th of May is approaching, so we have prepared a procedure for arranging Magento stores for compliance with GDPR directive guidelines. For this purpose, we have also prepared a special module for easier integration into the Magento system, which will facilitate the integration of additional fields into the online store itself.
What changes will we make to Magento stores?
Newsletter subscription forms
We will add an additional field (“checkbox”) to the forms, which will need to be checked to subscribe to the notification list. At the same time, it will be possible to view the privacy policy at the field, which will open on the page in a pop-up window.
Emails will be stored in the Magento store in the same way as before. However, the date of subscription will also be displayed at the fields. This will also allow distinguishing between those who have already accepted additional confirmation and past subscribers.
For previously subscribed to the notification list, it will be necessary to obtain consent again. If programs such as Mailerlite or Mailchimp, etc., are used, you already have developed functionality to obtain contacts, which will need to be used. If your system does not have this available, such functionality will need to be implemented.
Locations where newsletter subscription is available in the Magento store:
- Classic newsletter subscription forms (usually in the footer or side of the store)
- User registration (customer/account/create)
- Checkout (checkout/onepage/)
If you have additional forms on the site where personal data is collected, they need to be appropriately arranged.
User accounts
For user accounts, we will enable the possibility of deleting or anonymizing data via the module (Zero1) so that a registered user will have the option to delete data. Mandatory data necessary for order processing will not have the option of deletion.
Updated general terms and privacy policy pages
In addition to technical matters, it will also be necessary to arrange and supplement the terms of business and the privacy policy. Unfortunately, we do not have a specialized expert for these matters, but we will be happy to assist in arranging data based on GDPR-compliant online stores.
If personal data is shared with third parties, such as Mailchimp, GLS, etc., do not forget to inform the visitor of this information.
The module for arranging the Magento store according to GDPR guidelines will be available free of charge for Degriz customers. If you would like us to help you arrange the store, contact us at podpora@degriz.net, where we will charge only for the time spent on integration, and that to the minute. Depending on the complexity of the store and the scope of work, it will take approximately one to four hours of work (in exceptional cases, possibly more). The hourly rate is 40 € + VAT.
