GDPR Professional

Overview

GDPR principle was created to protect customer data. In a nutshell, GDPR establishes a clear set of rules about which regulations businesses can operate in relation to the process of executing customer data. With these new rules, boundaries are easier to understand for both businesses and consumers, which will facilitate earning money and retain customer loyalty.

In order to capture the EU data protection standards, Mageplaza has released a new extension for this standard. That's the GDPR module. Magento 2 GDPR module will assist you to delete customer data permanently, to ensure your GDPR regulation compliance.

In addition, GDPR pro now supports customers to download their account information which also can be auto deleted after a long time unlogged in. This removal will be notified for customers before the deleting date.
