Thanks for the input on this! Yes, I have also read the news about the new GDPR policy that will be taking effect in 2018. We'll try to add this into 3.6.4

By the way, if I recall correctly GDPR is also more than just the privacy policy checkbox eh?

Yes! A lot more Pls do your best to adapt to this new law as soon as possible, it's a major concern for all sites in Europe, starting Q2 2018. One of the major consequences is that if a user asks to be deleted from the system he must be COMPLETELY removed. No trace of the user can remain, not 'inactivated' or user deleted but blog posts remains, etc. The user must even be removed from backups. Not sure how that affects payplans because I guess records of transactions must still remain (not sure what the law says here), but for other parts of your portfolio it might require some changes. Hopefully not too much work though! Good luck!

Hey Jan,

Thanks for sharing more details on this and I appreciate it very much. By the way, do you have any links that we could refer to regarding the new GDPR policy?

Hey Mark,

check these links out for some more info on GDPR:

good overview by Wired Magazine:

A pdf on preparing for GDPR from ICO:
https://ico.org.uk/media/1624219/preparing-for-the-gdpr-12-steps.pdf

ICO's overall guide is decent too:

A much talked about topic is that the European Union can fine companies that does not comply up to 20 million euro, or 4 percent of their revenue, whichever is greatest. I doubt they will impose such fines unless you really screw up, but in practice - if we don't comply they have the right to put us out of business...

Thanks for sharing this Jan, much appreciated!

is there any plan to implement this in payplans, if not we will need to find another component probably, if you have any ETA would be appreciated.

Hey Emma,

We are actually going through the entire GDPR policy and seeing what can be done on PayPlans end. Not everything can be controlled on our end because it still relies on your payment gate, joomla site etc.

What is more tricky, is the cookies which is very difficult for us to control as cookies could be generated by the payment gateways.

Any idea when the new playplans will be released?

Mel

Hey Mel,

Currently we don't have the exact release date for Payplans 4, but we are aiming for mid 2018.

we are aiming for mid 2018.

This seems light-years to me now... (I would prefer to install new instead of updating with such code changes...)

Hi Supporter,

Thanks for the heads up on this. We are still trying our very best to deliver fixes / features to our customers. Since GDPR will most likely required in most of our extensions, we will add this feature into our extension one at a time. To be frank with you, we are still learning what is the best approach to make all our components GDPR compliant and this process will take time.

I hope for your understanding and patience.

Have a nice day
