  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, a small software update is scheduled for Thursday night at 10PM CST for GDPR compliance. After the update, users will be presented with a screen to accept the updated guidelines and privacy policy, which can be reviewed in advance. The rules and privacy policy will be moved to the Help section to avoid triggering the "check" screen.

Ran into a little snag which if you are reading this logged it you've already figured out. We need to move the rules and privacy policy to the Help section which won't trigger the "check" screen.

What is the purpose of the small update on Thursday night?

The small update on Thursday night is for ensuring compliance with GDPR, which is a new data privacy regulation in the European Union.

What changes can we expect from the update?

The update will include changes to our data collection and storage processes to align with GDPR requirements. This may include updates to our privacy policy, consent forms, and data handling procedures.

Will the update affect our current data or website functionality?

The update should not have a significant impact on current data or website functionality. However, there may be some minor changes in how data is collected and stored, and users may need to provide consent again for certain data processing activities.

Is the update necessary for all websites or just for those in the European Union?

The update is necessary for all websites that collect data from individuals in the European Union, regardless of where the website is based. This is because GDPR applies to the data of all individuals in the EU, regardless of the location of the website.

What actions do we need to take after the update?

After the update, it is important to review any changes made and ensure that your website and data collection processes are in compliance with GDPR. It may also be necessary to inform users of any changes and obtain their consent again for data processing activities.
