Data Compliance

A tool to facilitate GDPR conformance of your Joomla! sites

Download • Documentation

What does it do?

The component allows the site's visitors to:

  • give or revoke their consent for personal data processing (and prevent the user from using the site if they have not provided consent).
  • export all data we have on them to a commonly machine readable format (XML).
  • exercise their right to be forgotten (account removal) with a concrete audit trail.

The component also keeps an audit log of all the user profile changes, data exports and account removal.

The account removal audit log can be automatically exported to S3 (in a JSON format). This lets you comply with the GDPR requiring you to keep an audit trail of your compliance to personal data requests. Note that this audit log does NOT include any personally identifiable information, just the anonymous IDs of the information deleted.

There is a Joomla CLI integration plugin. You can use the CLI commands to, among other things, schedule periodic removal of stale accounts. This lets you comply with the data minimisation requirement of the GDPR.

Building the component (for developers)

In order to build the installation packages of this component you will need to have the following tools:

  • A command line environment. Using Bash under Linux / Mac OS X works best. On Windows you will need to run most tools through an elevated privileges (administrator) command prompt on an NTFS filesystem due to the use of symlinks. Press WIN-X and click on "Command Prompt (Admin)" to launch an elevated command prompt.
  • A PHP CLI binary in your path
  • Command line Git executables
  • Phing

You will also need the following path structure inside a folder on your system

You will need to use the exact folder names specified here.

Building a dev release

Go inside com_datacompliance/build and run phing git -Dversion=0.0.1.a1 to create a development release. The installable Joomla! ZIP package file is output in the com_datacompliance/release directory.
