The European Union regulations are effective from 25th May 2018 you need to comply with your hotel booking website with General Data Protection Regulation.
With the QloApps GDPR Compliance module, you can comply with new regulations.
That is, GDPR & European Union cookie law and ensure your customers of data protection.
You can allow your customers to update or delete their personal data present on the website whenever they want.
Note: The minimum compatible version of QloApps for the GDPR compliance module is 1.2.0.0
Installing a module on QloApps is very simple. Just follow these steps:
Go To ‘Modules and Services’ and Click on ‘Add a New Module’.
Now upload the Zip file of the module and click on install.
Now you have installed the module. So let’s check how to configure it.
After the successful installation of the module, the admin can view the Manage GDPR tab from where he can manage the module.
Under “Manage GDPR Agreement Data”, the admin can configure where to show the GDPR agreement checkbox and its content.
Click on Manage GDPR–> Manage GDPR Agreement Data
Under “GDPR Agreement Data Management”, admin can configure the display of the GDPR agreement checkbox on:
Core QloApps Form Agreements
QloApps Module’s Form Agreements
GDPR Agreement Checkbox in modules form
Once installing the module, a tab “Manage Personal Data” gets available for the customers under ‘My Account’ at the Front End.
When a customer clicks on the “Manage Personal Data” tab, he can view three sub-tabs.
Personal Data Access, Personal Data Rectification, and Personal Data Erasure.
On clicking the ‘Update your Personal Information’ tab, he gets redirected to the Customer Personal Information page where he can update his personal information.
When the customer clicks on the ‘Update Your Address Information’ tab, he gets redirected to the ‘My Addresses’ tab where he can update or delete his address.
When a customer clicks on the ‘For Other Updations Click here’ tab, a block gets available below the tab.
From here he can enter the information he wants to update on the website.
When a customer clicks on the ‘REQUEST FOR DELETE’ button.
Then a pop-up appears on the screen where the customer has to click on the ‘DELETE DATA’ button to erase all his data from the website.
Once a customer clicks on the ‘DELETE DATA’ button, a message will be displayed on the screen as shown below:
Once a request for data deletion has been submitted by a customer a request for data erasure is sent to admin and he can view it by navigating through Manage GDPR->Manage Customer Data.
As per General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), you must inform your customers that your website uses cookies.
Moreover, they also have the choice of disabling some or all cookies.
Hence, to do the same, we have Manage Cookie Categories, Manage Cookies, and Manage Module Cookies.
To set the cookies categories, go to Manage GDPR –> Manage Cookie Categories.
Here, you can view the list of cookie categories already created. Moreover, the admin can also create cookie categories.
Henceforth, under the manage cookie category, you can add the category name and description.
Moreover, you can add a new cookie from Manage Cookies.
Go to Manage GDPR –> Manage Cookies, under it you can view the list of cookies under different categories.
Moreover, to add a new cookie, click on ‘Add new cookie’.
Fill in all the details of the cookies and save them. For reference, look at the below image.
All those cookies which are necessary, are created by default.
Through cookies, we can manage and control module functionalities. To do the same, use the help of the Manage module cookie to create cookies and assign them here.
For instance, I have assigned our room section cookie with the display hotel rooms module.
On the front end, after the customer has not accepted our room section cookie, the ‘Our Rooms’ block section is removed.
This was all from the QloApps GDPR compliance. I hope I was able to clarify the functioning of the module to you.
