What is GDPR? Magento 2 GDPR extension introduction

General Data Privacy Regulations (GDPR) is a set of privacy security standards adopted by the EU and is officially in compliance from the 25th of May 2018.
GDPR introduces some significant changes in the data protection laws to help tighten the security of citizens’ information online. The regulation consequently gives a strong impact on how companies collect and process personal data.

You're processing important data which can be considered personal information according to GDPR. Along with a strong commitment to protecting customers' data from being leaked, misused, or stolen, they have right to go anonymous or protect their own personal information.

To assist Magento 2 stores better in complying with GDPR as well as in strengthening data privacy security, Mageplaza develops the GDPR extension. Through this module, buyers now can permanently and completely remove their accounts, remove default addresses, helps manage billing information and cookie restriction which used to be undone with default Magento 2.
