Review of GDPR Magento 2 Extension for Store Compliance

Privacy is an important part of online shopping and today’s ecommerce solutions are obliged to follow international privacy regulations, such as GDPR. GDPR extension, provided by Magefan, is a powerful and advanced tool that can help online stores comply with complex rules of Internet data protection.

Why do you need GDPR extension?

Online activities across European Union are regulated by General Data Protection Regulation, or shortly GDPR. One of the key rights according to GDPR is the Right to be Forgotten, which means that users can delete all their personal information from your website if they want to. With the help of the GDPR extension, your store does not only protect your customer’s private data, but also allows them to gain full control over it.

Main features

Removal of customer’s account. One of the key features the extension provides is the ability for a user to delete their account from your store, which gives them the right to control their personal data on your website.
Removal of the default billing address. The extension allows users to delete their names, addresses, and phone numbers, creating a higher level of trust between the online business and the customer.
Billing documents management. If a customer wants to remain anonymous, the extension will encode the user’s private data, including names, addresses, etc.
Restriction of cookies. Depending on the geographical location, cookies can be forbidden to follow the country’s regulations.

How does it work?

Below you can find an example of how you can implement this extension on your website. This is a screenshot taken from the demo provided by the vendor.
