    We should be able to exclude groups or users. The founder of a forum, for example, will probably have more reputation than another admin and maybe he doesn't want to appear in the leaderboard.
    One example here on IPS is the IPS NEWS account! There's no sense in display it there: https://invisionpower.com/topmembers/

    Markus Jung reacted to Nick Willson in How Invision Community's tools can help with GDPR compliance   
    I too really appreciate this blog post and the concerted efforts you have taken in introducing tools and links to relevant information help us with GDPR compliance in 4.2.7.  I chose the community software as it is top class and actively enhanced, has professional support and takes security seriously. Now it benefits from support for first rate privacy and data protection tools to the list.
     
    GDPR is I believe a much needed step forward for privacy and the assertion that individuals own the rights to their data is increasingly vital in this age of social media and big data analysis. I hope and believe GDPR may well become the de facto world privacy standard and should not be feared but embraced to provide true transparency and protection to our community members in the best way.
    One area as highlighted also by the @The Old Man that may still need to be addressed  in relation to the right to be informed and a subjects access requests. I am not concerned particularly about content such as posts, articles, blogs etc however member data, store customer data and to IP & device data is collected and is accessible and there needs to be a mechanism to provide this data in response to subject access requests in an easily readable electronic form.  This data is accessible via the ACP but it is not easily captured or exported e.g. in CSV or PDF, the only real method currently is screen capture which is laborious.

    Really appreciate this article and the efforts in general to provide us with the necessary tools to help us with compliance in 4.2.7, and of course the point about trying to be helpful and supportive whilst not suggesting that you are pertaining to be lawyers or providing legal advice is well taken. As I've said before, it's a good potential selling point for software companies too. 
    I much prefer this more helpful customer service stance which is much more supportive than when back when the cookie consent thing became a thing.
    Whilst hopefully most of us won't ever have to formally demonstrate compliance with GDPR as part of an official review, ICO complaint or audit, it's just having the reassurance that our members know we take our responsibilities seriously, and the reassurance that also comes with knowing we have the tools available when needed to show general compliance or if necessary, for administrators to easily run off a log report detailing, not war and peace, but the basics of when a member's consent was provided, acceptance of terms was agreed (when they registered, accepted an updated privacy policy etc, or in fact removed consent). The data is there in the database, it's just a matter of being able to run a 'member GDPR' report, perhaps one that can be exported as a convenient pdf, txt, csv or .docx file. Perhaps even having a list of these tools and relevant AdminCP pages in a small but handy 'GDPR' section of the AdminCP menu would be helpful?
    Great to also see a basic cookie acceptance tool built-in tied into the system and the ability to edit accompanying text as needed without giving admins the potential to get it wrong by pre-checking opt-ins. Not only removes the need to use third party cookie compliance software but also makes the whole experience more natural, streamlined and seemingly less disjointed to the end user/potential new member.
    The boundaries of the Internet have never been straightforward! I'm in the UK, but I have multiple IPS licences for both UK and US based websites. When I say US based site, its more a case of having switched my original .UK monickered site to being more international themed .net site many years ago, and although the majority of its forum members are US based, we have a lesser proportion of international members (Finland, France, Germany, UK) and whilst I use a cloud-based VPS from a US based service provider for all of these sites, I know I still have to show regard to GDPR if we want to provide a service to people within European countries.
    I bet hardly any UK based hobby admins are actually registered with the ICO if they don't own a full businesses or organisation already registered as a Data Controller, even though they are making the decision to store and process personal information. GDPR seems to remove that convenience loophole.
    I recall someone saying that an IP address is not personal information back when the cookie debate was going on, but now GDPR clearly defines it as such.
    Like you say, the UK's ICO website has some good info and guidance, although at times it can seem overwhelming.
    If in doubt, get some legal advice is the key thing from a potential confused admin's perspective, look for online presentations or perhaps check out the business support section of your local council, business association, college, library to see if they are providing 1 or 2 hour free sessions in the area.

    Markus Jung reacted to Rikki in New: Better Analytics Integration   
    They weren't 'wrong' per se, but Google Analytics wouldn't track dynamic pages by default, and since we use ajax to load a lot of content in IPS4, those actions wouldn't count as a view. That goes a long way towards explaining why you'd see a drop in overall page views.
    This change will enable those dynamic page views to be tracked.
