WatuPRO and GDPR

From version 5.8.8 WatuPRO offers a feature that will help you be GDPR compliant.

The checkbox to enable it is in WatuPRO Settings page, section User Settings and Pages:

When selected the feature will enable two links in logged in users “My Quizzes” page:

  • Delete my results
  • Export my results

When enabled, the GDPR function will also mask user’s IP addresses when this data is stored as quiz results. Note that we’ll still store full one-way coded hash of the IP address to allow IP-based quiz attempt limitations to work.

Few things to note:

  • We are not your legal advisor and cannot guarantee this alone makes you GDPR compliant. If in doubt, consult a legal advisor. Either way we’ll take no liability.
  • This feature is for registered / logged in users. If you are collecting sensitive personal data from non-registered users you should let them know they can contact you to have their data deleted or exported. To be on the safe side we’d rather not collect sensitive data from non logged in users at all.
  • Be careful with all plugins and bridges that move user’s data automatically, subscribe them to mailing lists, etc. Using them is not illegal but users should be informed and should explicitly agree.

If you strongly believe the plugin could provide other features that make GDPR compliance easier please do get in touch with us at support@kibokolabs.com.
