Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Yesterday i set that IP addresses of members shall be deleted after 30 days. But even today, when in downloas PII data, older IPs are still there. How to fix this?
Daniel F Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Are your background tasks working? Have you applied the latest patch?
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 Usually they work. Yes. Â Can you have a look?
Marc Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Please could you provide an example user where IPs have not been removed?
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 Have a look at User "sloth" in my community for example
Marc Posted February 15 Posted February 15 We would need to look further into this for you, however the access details on file appear to be incorrect or missing. Could you please update these details by visiting your client area, selecting the relevant purchase, then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. We look forward to further assisting you. Â
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 18 Author Posted February 18 Hi, i updated and doublecheck the Admin CP Access access deatils. htacess and ssh detail not needed and not working.

Should this need escalating, we will need those details. I have taken a look at that user, and while they do indeed have a few email addresses showing, all of those have been used in the last 30 days, so would not be deleted under the rules you have set up
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 I'm talkink about stored IP addresses, not email addresses at this point. According to the Member History ******** was last used at 04/17/2023 ******* was last used at  04/17/2023 ******** was last used at 06/05/2022 So it's stored longer than 30 days. Or do i misinterpret something ? This user has e.g. a even longer "history":  Member History Besides that, it would be interesting how to delete certain PII data after 30 days like the IP addresses.
Marc Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I have removed the IPs there, but I have them hidden so we can see them. Please update your ftp access details also as this will need to be escalated
Jim M Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I have transferred this to a ticket. Please watch your email for further correspondence.Â
Canis Posted February 22 Posted February 22 We have the same problem. Pruning is set to 3 months, but IP's are still kept up to more that 2 decades ago. As far as I can tell it's the same for all members.
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 i got feedback on my ticket that it is a bug in the software. I told them, that i have to stress out that violating current laws regarding PII can mean severe penalties for those running a community. That's why i urge invision to bring up a quick solution and not wait for an upcoming release. Answer was: I'll see if we can release a patch for this once my code changes were reviewed and merged for the next release. Â

This is a serious problem, especially for us in the EU. Will it be fixed in 4.7.16?

DawPi Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I know. I have own copy of each release texts and noticed it too.
Canis Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Thanks Stuart, I thought I was going crazy.. 🙂 Looks like there still are IP's that are not pruned: Registration Poll votes Member history

The IPs are being removed as expected. We still have two settings for this that are becoming redundant, make sure that you have AdminCP > Settings > Posting > Prune IPs configured. We'll be looking to simplify this in future.
