Some notes for now: https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2018/05/04/woocommerce-3-4-gdpr-features/
From @allendav: I think we need to describe how to use each of the four things we added on a separate page i.e.
-
Privacy Policy Page is now a setting under wp-admin > Settings
- Let's you designate or create a privacy policy page
-
Privacy Policy Editing Helper *Gathers privacy policy declarations from plugins that support them into a copy and pasteable view above the page editor when editing the privacy policy page *Highlights when a plugin's declarations change (including date)
-
Personal Data Export tool
- Designed around GDPR Right of Access requests
- Under wp-admin > Tools
- Allows administrators to send a confirmation link to users to confirm their personal data export request
- Allows administrators to download or directly email a personal data export to those users
- Export is in the form of a ZIP file with an HTML report inside
- Includes hooks for plugins to add their own contributions to the report
-
Personal Data Erasure tool
- Designed around GDPR Right to Erasure requests
- Under wp-admin > Tools
- Allows administrators to send a confirmation link to users to confirm their personal data erasure request
- Allows administrators to run a personal data erasure for those users
- Informs administrators of any personal data that was retained by a plugin
- Allows administrators to optionally delete registered user accounts
- Includes hooks for plugins to erase personal data they collected
- Works with new anonymization functions in WordPress core to anonymize things like IP addresses instead of just erasing them
-
seems like we might need a fifth article to summarize all four and then that fifth article could appear on the codex Main_Page, e.g. under Learn How to Use WordPress or something
