The main reason for this release is the <b>General Data Protection Regulation<\/b> of the European Union. The regulation will become enforceable on 25 May 2018. That way you\u2019ll have more than 2 weeks to prepare for it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GDPR_Compliance\"><\/span>GDPR Compliance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The GDPR is a European Union regulation on personal data processing. It affects everyone who collects and uses personal data (that includes contact information or addresses) of EU citizens and residents. To learn more, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/upcoming-gdpr-support-in-cs-cart-and-multi-vendor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an article about GDPR compliance in our blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Version 4.7.4 comes with an add-on that informs new customers about how you handle personal data. The add-on also helps you manage that data: anonymize it or export it to an XML file. Please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/4.7.x\/user_guide\/addons\/gdpr\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">documentation about the add-on<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to get the add-on:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: decimal; padding-left: 15px; text-indent: 0; text-align: left;\">\n<li>The best way is to <b>upgrade to version 4.7.4<\/b>\u2014not only will you get the GDPR Compliance add-on, but also the latest features and security fixes. If necessary, <a href=\"https:\/\/helpdesk.cs-cart.com\/upgrade-subscriptions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prolong your upgrade subscription<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Normally we don\u2019t port new functionality to older versions, but we understand the importance of complying with the GDPR. Not everyone can upgrade the store due to extensive third-party modifications or for other reasons.That\u2019s why our support staff can <b>adapt the add-on from 4.7.4 for your CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor 4.x.x installation<\/b>. If you\u2019d like to have it done, <a href=\"https:\/\/helpdesk.cs-cart.com\/gdpr-add-on-installation-service.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buy the GDPR Add-on Installation Service<\/a> and then <a href=\"https:\/\/helpdesk.cs-cart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact our technical support via Help Desk<\/a>. Unfortunately, the add-on can\u2019t be adapted for earlier versions like 2.x.x or 3.x.x without a significant rework that borders on writing an add-on from scratch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>The add-on by itself is not enough to make you GDPR-compliant.<\/b> You\u2019ll need to review the requirements of the GDPR and address them. For example, you\u2019ll probably need to change the text of privacy notices and get to consent for personal data processing from your existing customers by email (the add-on doesn\u2019t handle that).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Changes\"><\/span>Other Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Version 4.7.4 also includes improvements to Beta add-ons:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 15px; text-indent: 0; text-align: left;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 15px; text-indent: 0; text-align: left;\">\n<li><b>Advanced Products Import [Beta]<\/b> now supports XML files.
