Getting Started

Welcome to the GDPR extension documentation.

The GDPR extension allows to comply common GDPR regulations:

• Data protection policy consents
• Ability to download user data
• Ability to anonymize user data
• Ability to erase user data

Quick Start

Our GDPR extension is a simple yet powerful extension for building and setting common GDPR regulations. Most of its functions work out-of-box, but for full productivity, there's a number of settings that can be tuned up.

1. Start with enabling GDPR
2. Then manage your customer's data

Configuration settings

Settings, that allow to tune-up GDPR extension are located at Stores -> Configuration -> Mirasvit Extensions -> GDPR, and breaks into the following sections:

General Settings

Cookie Consent Bar

Form Consent Checkbox

Personal Account Options

Customers' Requests

Customers who requested to Remove Personal Data and Account displayed here. It is located at main Magento menu Customers -> Customers' Requests.
This section allows administrators to manage them. There are possible to Deny or Approve a request. Once the administrator made a choice, there is no option to revert it.

The grid allows sorting by Date, Customer, Request type, Status, Action, and ID.

Customers' Consents

The list of consents located at main Magento menu Customers -> Customers' Consents.
The grid allows tracking of consents by Date, Customer, Consent type, Status, Action, and ID. This data can be useful for different consents analysis.

How to upgrade extension

To upgrade the extension, follow these steps:

1. Back up your store's database and web directory.
2. Login to the SSH console of your server and navigate to the root directory of the Magento 2 store.

3. Run the command composer require mirasvit/module-gdpr:* --update-with-dependencies to update the current extension with all dependencies.

   Note

   If you have the Hyva theme, run:

              composer require mirasvit/module-gdpr:* mirasvit/module-gdpr-hyva:* --update-with-dependencies

   Note

   If you have the hyva-themes/magento2-mirasvit-gdpr package then remove it, run:

              composer remove hyva-themes/magento2-mirasvit-gdpr

   Note

   In some cases, the command above is not applicable, or it's not possible to update just the current module, or you need to upgrade all the Mirasvit modules in a bundle. In this case, the above command will not work.

   Run instead composer update mirasvit/* command. It will update all the Mirasvit modules installed in your store.
