Drupal Advent Day 10: Privacy Track Enhances Data Protection Standards

Drupal Advent Calendar

The tenth day of the Drupal Advent Calendar, authored by Jürgen Haas of LakeDrops, highlights the Privacy track of the Starshot project. Jürgen, a long-time Drupal enthusiast and maintainer of the ECA module, emphasized the importance of privacy as a fundamental human right and the challenges of building a global privacy standard for Drupal sites. Supported by a team of contributors from organizations like Acolono, Dropsolid, Tojio, LakeDrops, Ramsalt, and Werk21, the initiative focuses on two key areas: consent management and server-side data protection. By default, the Klaro! module is used to block third-party content and prevent the storage of cookies without user consent, ensuring privacy with minimal impact on user experience. Additionally, for sites requiring user accounts, tools are being developed to identify, protect, and manage user data, enabling user-requested data deletions and reports. While the privacy tools aim to meet the strongest global compliance standards, users are advised to seek local legal guidance to ensure full compliance. Documentation is being prepared to assist Drupal site owners with this process.
