Quote from: b4pjoe – June 24, 2018, 11:49:07 amI want to force all users to accept the new registration agreement the next time they login. Checking this box and saving has no effect, ie...saving unchecks the box.

Quote from: ahrasis – June 25, 2018, 07:55:14 amI think we got some problems with this button as it did not stay selected after we as admin have chosen it in the settings.
[ ] Force all members to accept this new version of the privacy policy at the next visit to the forum.

When I select it again, I was taken to https://elkarte.sch.my/index.php?action=admin;area=regcenter at the browser url but the same page is still showing with the above button unselected.

Selecting it again will drive me back to https://elkarte.sch.my/index.php?action=register;sa=privacypol where I (as the admin) now have to accept the privacy policy.

I am all confused. Or is this intended?

Quote from: emanuele – June 25, 2018, 06:56:59 amTBH I don't think we can write a privacy policy that suites all the needs, that's why I refrained from adding one.
What we can "easily" do is try to document how the data are used and stored, but the actual policy is something that is currently up to the owner of the site.
For example if you have backups, if you have addons, for how long you intend to keep the records, what you do with deleted accounts, if you have more people that can access the data, etc.
All of these should be likely taken in consideration, and since I'm not a lawyer and don't have enough money to consult one for writing a legal document, then I'm in your same boat.
If you have any suggestion, please open a topic and start drafting a generic policy for anybody to have a boilerplate to work on.

Quote from: b4pjoe – June 25, 2018, 08:57:23 amDo we have to keep a visible link to the Privacy Policy on our website?

Quote from: b4pjoe – June 25, 2018, 08:57:23 amDo we have to give users the ability to download their data that we have.

Quote from: b4pjoe – June 25, 2018, 08:57:23 amDo we have to give users the ability to delete their account?

Quote from: emanuele – June 25, 2018, 08:34:54 amMaybe read the messages posted in this topic?

Quote from: Jorin – June 25, 2018, 09:32:57 amMay I ask where you are from, @b4pjoe? @Ruth and me worked for weeks on our privacy policy, maybe we can give you some answers. Here's a translated view of my privacy policy. Please keep in mind that this privacy policy is not made or controlled by a lawyer, it may not be perfect, maybe not 100% legal.    But I did my very best.

The privacy policy along with your registry agreement and your impressum must be always visible and easy to find! A single click to reach these documents is required. Links in your footer are perfect!

Users may want to know what data you collected. You must give them an overview of the collected data in an electronic form, as an excel file for example. But you can wait till they ask you for it, and you still have a decent amount of time to provide this data.

Quote from: b4pjoe – June 25, 2018, 08:57:23 amDo we have to give users the ability to delete their account?

Sure. But they have already, or not? Users can delete their account in their profile. At least they can apply for it and you have to confirm it.

Quote from: badmonkey – June 25, 2018, 01:59:52 pmprivacypolicy.txt should be in the forum root.  If not, create it manually and give it read/write permissions.
