Hikashop and GDPR

In Hikashops if a visitor, who is not logged in, adds a product to the card, Hikashop stores the IP address.  In the HikaShop configuration you can add a "terms and conditions" view to your "checkout workflow" to get a checkbox during the checkout. You can customize the text using a translation override. 

General tips for webshops

  • use SSL for your website so that all communication is transported through a secured line
  • inform your visitors and customers about cookies
  • only collect necessary data
  • check for payment providers - they are processors and you need processor contracts with them
  • inform what data is stored and how long
  • if you store IP-address inform people
  • are you using a currency convertor? Is it an external JavaScript?
