Features

Note:This extension is no longer bundled with BlueSpice free starting v. 4.2.

The extension Privacy allows users to maintain their privacy and enables site maintainers to comply with the GDPR.

Users can:

  • Request anonymization: The requests are directed to a site administrator for approval. If approved, the user is anonymized by the system.
  • Request removal: The requests are directed to a site administrator for approval. If approved, the user is deleted from the system with all their data.
  • Retrieve all data stored about them in the system.
  • Give and revoke consent to the privacy policy.

It allows site administrators to:

  • Manage anonymisation and deletion requests.
  • Get an overview of the privacy policy and cookie consent of all users.

User for automated tests

For the special test user NoConsentWikiSysop, the privacy consent requirement is bypassed, allowing automated test access to the wiki.
