    Hi,

    I can’t find the thread from earlier but did we manage to get anything resolved with regards to GDPR compliance on forms?

    Thanks

    Hi Alex,

    I wanted to ensure that people have the option to opt in to marketing and also accept the terms and conditions of the website.

    GeoDirectory core and addons are GDPR compliant.

    An additional marketing opt-in (consent) on the add-listing page (in addition to the optional “Terms and Conditions” option) is not needed because in all cases the intended legal basis is “legitimate interests” as opposed to requiring consent.

    This is the case for two reasons:
    1. If the user did not give consent then nothing would happen and no data would be processed, so there is no “genuine choice” therefor consent is not appropriate.
    2. All the data entered is used “as reasonably expected” by the forms.
