Hello support,
i have some question about gdpr.
I use gridbox a their plugin to build a site and not other third part extension.
Probably for check box with link to privacy policy i have to buy form (now i use free version).
Question:
1- how often the cookie accept reappears if you select the accept button?
2- What do you mean with 1.5. Forms allows you to delete all info which were submited by customer, throught Forms admin panel (Submissions)?
3- There is a possibility to have a log that the user select the privacy checkbox ?

Hello, Alberto!

Here are answers:

1. Once, until the user clears the cookies in the browser

2. GDPR allows website visitor to request to delete all info about him, so in the Forms submissions you can delete all submissions which was done by visitor.

Also, the latest version of the Forms 1.7.2 allows to dosen't save submission info to the website database.

3. Our extensions dosen't allow this. And I have no idea, if this possible

I'm really respect GDPR, but I think they did mistake about cookies, my opinion is that browser should inform visitor about cookies, because directly browser save cookies, not website. For example when you visiting website browser should show you modal with info "This website use cookies, do you want to save them?" with a list of cookies (with checkboxes)

Form other side I'm not sure that the modern Web can work without cookies, for example, if you'll disable cookies in your browser, you'll not be able login to your Google profile.

Cookies saving your pass to websites, so we don't need each time to login, for me it's very conveniently, even more, it's very important for me.

etc.

I buy this morning form pro so i can see and export log but only if i decide to set "Save Submissions to Database in setting" correct?
In case "Save Submissions to Database" is not set i will not see anything i because database is empty correct?

Alberto,

Yes, absolutely right! To view logs (submissions), "Save Submissions to Database" should be selected

Hi,

I have a question for Balbooa Joomla Forms Builder

It would be great if you build the option to have x-days to detroy submission after input date.

Thanks for the great extensions! Keep up the good work!

In the email form, is it possible to include that the checkbox for consent was checked?
I understand that keeping evidence of consent means that we must be able to provide proof of consent. Of course the form won't send without the box being checked, but would like this information in the email received.

Hello,

Forms comes with a Terms and Conditions field, it's a required checkbox which can be used for GDPR, if a user doesn't check it, the form will be not send

Terms and Conditions checkbox doesn't include to the form submission, because the field was originally created to verify that the user agrees to the conditions

So, if you receive a message from a customer, that's mean he agrees to your terms

Hi Artem,

Thanks for your answer.

Guiding the GDPR data has to be destroyed after a x period. So it would be good to have a option to have automatic time of days when deleted the submission.

Hi, Kos!

Thank you for your suggestion
I saw a similar option in the Google Analytics

Regards,
Artem, Balbooa.com

I know the Terms and Conditions field is a required checkbox and the message won't be sent without it, but the message doesn't 'show' proof that the checkbox was there and checked.

If an issue comes up regarding the GDPR, how can I prove that the T&C checkbox was actually enabled at the time the third party sent a message? It would simply be them saying "there was no check box when I sent the message" and of course I would argue your point that the message can't be sent if the checkbox wasn't ticked. In the end, GDPR sides on the third party and not the website owner because I can't prove otherwise.

This is why it is necessary that proof is added to the message sent by third parties.

Hello, Christian!

Thank you for so detailed explanation!

I no longer have arguments, you convinced me
Task added, will be done in the next update

Many thanks,
