>> I believe you can store everything if you have the user permission
isn’t it the case that a customer agrees to any keeping or storing wherever this will be of the data he entered by his own decision?

My forms are applications or requests to be informed about something. I do not know you are using the form for. If it is only an information to you personally, then it must not be stored of course.

Actually I am alone but I think this makes no differece to the necessary process about what happens with the received data. The obligation to document your process of the data storage stays the same I think.

Hi,

just this evening I had a long phone with my hosting person about the DSGVO as we call it in Germany. The main point of the new regularies is not that the regularies concerns getting data, it is said that you have to document where and how the received data are stored and more important the security of this data. So some things are not allowed to store, may be, like keeping dates of birth, which are not always necessary to run a business. But as far as I know there will be no differnce if you get it by Mail, as a form entry including database storage or even a physical letter. In every case you have to document the storage, the security of that process and must be able to provide the client with all the data you ever collected.

So following my hoster, it is not a technical problem.

If I am wrong, please let me know it.

Hello jcpcosta,

if your form entries/messages are not stored in a database, I suppose you get them by mail. What are you doing then with that mails?

A good solution, I did it like this. Thanks for your fine plugin.

Why don’t you make an own required field for that? I did it that’s all

Best regards

Hello,

>> Mattwag are you for real?
yes I am, I am in Germany running a webshop

>> Why should you pay extra for making de plugin compliant to the GDPR?
>> We bought the plugin already.
The plugin was written in the USA and what some are asking here is a special request which not all users need

>> It is a simple question, and we need a simple answer.
>> Do they make the plugin GDPR Compliant?
Wasn’t it a simple answer the programmer gave you?

Please look at my first post, where I noted that what some are asking about a change does not effect the obligations by the GDPR. This law does not restrict the collection of data, it regulates the handling of them.
If you think I am wrong, please correct me. I am really open for any new informations.

Best regards
Matthias

Hello,

I understand you well as it is clear now, it’s your personal problem. I propose you ask the programmrs to modify it to your personal preferences and of course pay for it.
Your wishes are not of general need I would say.

Hello,

I am wondering why they should do this. It makes no difference if you keep stored the client data in the WP database or only the emails or their printouts. You anyway have do document it and the obligations to the customers are the same.

Let the programmers do their job in developing that great plugin and btw. they made a good proposual how to inform the customers about what is happening with their data. I have no idea why the plugin is not usable after the 25th of may?
