    Release 2.1.3 added the ability to request Erase or Download user data via Privacy tab at the Account page. Is there any way to disable/hide one or both of these new fields from the user? We want users to be be able to change their privacy settings but we don’t want to give them these new capabilities.

    I looked for a new setting but couldn’t find anything. Perhaps I didn’t look in the right place! Thank you.

    Hi @baponline

    You can add this code to your theme’s function.php file to remove the Download your data
    & Erase your data options:

    remove_action( 'um_after_account_privacy', 'um_after_account_privacy' );

    Thanks

    Be careful here. If you are serving content to EU citizens, then this needs to stay as it is a mandatory requirement of GDPR.

    Thank you for the quick response and code to add to function.php file. Worked perfectly!
    Also thanks for the info re GDPR. Website is just for local community members so not a GDPR issue at this point but definitely a good reminder for the future.

    Towhid,

    I tried to add this code :

    remove_action ( ‘um_after_account_privacy’, ‘um_after_account_privacy’ );

    as Code Snippet instead of adding it to my theme’s function.php file (do not like to modify that).

    But it is not working. Any idea why?
    Is the speeling right ? Both text are really the same (um_after_account_privacy) ?

    Thanks

    I actually added it as a Code Snippet (vs changing function.php) file and it worked fine for me.
    I just cut/paste the code provided; so yes, both text are really the same.
