Privacy legislation around the world requires you to allow your users to download a copy of the information you have on file for them, as well as request the permanent deletion of that information. This includes comments. Comments are either linked to a user or have a name and email address. In either case they are personally identifiable and covered under GDPR and similar legislation.

Akeeba Engage supports two solutions to that requirement.

You need to enable the “Privacy – Akeeba Engage“ plugin.

Please note that Joomla's Privacy component only works with comments which are submitted by a Joomla user when they are logged in. It does not apply to comments filed as a guest even if the email address used is the same as the one used with a Joomla user. This is a limitation of Joomla.

If that is a problem for your use case you can use our free of charge Akeeba DataCompliance component and the “Data Compliance – Akeeba Engage” plugin described below.

You need to enable the “Data Compliance – Akeeba Engage“ plugin.

Unlike the plugin for Joomla's built-in Privacy component, this plugin works on all comments submitted by a logged in user and all comments submitted as a guest using the user's email address. These comments will be exported on demand and pseudonymized when the user decides to delete their user account.
