Membership Works Plugin Policies
Erasing Personal Data – Right To Be Forgotten
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives members the right to request the erasure of their personal data from your membership database for specific reasons. We’ve developed a Anonymize/Erase Personal Data feature to help organizations comply with such requests.
When you anonymize an account, we will:
- Erase all fields in the account and set the Account Name field to “Anonymized”
- Erase all images uploaded for the account
- Erase all secondary contacts for the account
- Erase fields/questions in all linked event/form transactions and set the name of of the registration/checkout to “Anonymized”
- Erase all the Timeline notes, conversations, scheduled/reminder emails, renewal notices, contact change entries
- Erase all messages sent to the member
- Erase all recommendations created/received by the member
- Remove the email address for the member from your connected MailChimp lists
The following information will be retained which provides you with financial records for accounting purposes without retaining any personal information:
Timeline join date, billing updated, event/form checkout, invoices, payment entries
Tickets/items, amounts, credit card transaction ID in linked event/form transactions
Do note that if you had entered any personal information in the notes within the payment entries, or with any of the other retained Timeline entries, you will need to erase them manually as we cannot identify such data automatically.
Personal Data Stored With Third Parties
MembershipWorks will remove the email address from MailChimp on any connected lists, but cannot erase personal data from your payment gateway (Stripe, Paypal, Authorize.net, Braintree), accounting software (QuickBooks/Xero), or forums (Website Toolbox). Please request data controller remove all data from third parties by emailing jason[at]teachnomadic.com.
Anonymization Vs. Simply Deleting Account
Simply deleting an account does not erase personal data that is stored with linked event or form transactions. If you plan on deleting your account anyway , request that we anonymize an account first before deleting it.
