A 12 Step Visual Guide to Affino's Fully Baked-In GDPR Solution

Via mobile-optimised tabbed modal dialog window Affino presents the different cookie types and allows you to set sliders on whether you opt out of specific performance and tracking cookies.

Terms and Conditions are baked into several parts of Affino, but newbies are first likely to encounter them on the site Registration where terms must be accepted in order to proceed. It is alway essential to have a visible terms link (usually in footer) on every page of your site.

You will most likely first encounter 'Permission' statements and consent modal dialogues when either signing up for Newsletters separately, or as part of registration. Each Mailing List will have its own separate permission statement / consent element in line with GDPR's explicit consent ruling.

Once registered, you can click through to your Account Preferences screen which gives you a clear interface and overview as to current Preferences selected - you can adjust and update these at any time.

These are the messaging Permissions you have consented to, also available via your Account Preferences screen. Each Permission statement has a date-stamp and [Revoke] button attached - and you can rescind your consent at any stage.

This is the first of the essential online forms - users can request they not be profiled any more - a simple setting which is applied on the User Security Screen - which means no logged tracking and no subsequent Personalisation therefore.

Per GDPR regulations users / customers can request you provide them with all the data you hold on them - you have 30 days to comply - and can carry out this task very easily using the individual User Export function.

The final form covers the customer's prerogative to be 'removed' or 'deleted' from your system - actually the legislation requires you have a log of this transaction, so even though you fully suspend and archive User / Contact - you still need to maintain basic reference / record for compliance purposes.

For Admin users - you can check on a customer's Permissions by accessing that Tab on the main Contacts Screen - for a full overview - with consent date stamps etc.

If/When a User/Customer requests you 'Send Me My Personal Data' you would then carry out an individual User Export and email said file to them - you have 30 days from request within which to action this.

The likely End of the road for this particular relationship - on the User Security screen you tick all the Suspension options and then hit the 'Archive' button up top. Per GDPR requirements, Affino is required to keep a record of this transaction - so the most basic record is retained to fulfil that regulation.
