Phoca Maps / EU Data Protection (EUDATAP)
Posted: 07 Jun 2018, 11:04
Hello Phoca Team,
I have a few questions regarding the usage of the "Phoca Maps plug-in" and it's "Get Route Function", which I have been using for years now and on many client websites.
Due to the newly implemented EU Data Protection (EUDATAP) I need to know exactly, what kind of sensible user information is being sent to google - if any?
It has come to my attention that I need to inform visitors to my websites on exactly what kind of user information (such as IP addresses etc.) is being sent to other companies trough the plug-ins that I am using.
This plug-in works with google maps, does it not? If so, I have read that whenever google map is being used, google automatically receives data from this user.
This is forbidden by the new Data Protection (EUDATAP). Therefore, I would be forced to delete all the Phoca Maps plug-in from all websites.
I hope this is not the case and I still would like to use your great plug-in! :-)
Is there anything else, that I or the users should be informed about and can you give me an official statement for this plug-in, that i could post on my website on the privacy policy page?
Perhaps a statement in German and/or in English?
I thank you for your help.
With kind regards,
