FriendsOfFlarum Can it be used together with fof pretty mail?

datitisev

matteocontrini

Why isn't this the default anyway? 🤔

katos

matteocontrini Because you can't just send emails willy-nilly under GDPR.

datitisev

katos matteocontrini Hm, that is a proper concern. Not sure how it would be taking GDPR concerns... just make sure you are getting permission beforehand if using this extension I guess lol.

matteocontrini

katos well, the email notification feature was designed at least 2 years before GDPR. Moreover, as far as I know most online communities are not businesses, so GDPR doesn't apply. And anyway, I think that stating it in the privacy policy should be ok

katos

matteocontrini Whilst I take your point about the feature design period, you can't take the "most online communities aren't businesses" approach as actually you still have a duty of care for data, as well as the fact that designing a software like this you'd need to be careful either way.

Also, you can't just state it in the privacy policy and hope for the best. Users have to give explicit permissions.

Though, we should stay on topic for the thread, sorry! 🙂

That statement is incorrect. GDPR doesn't apply to just businesses.

Gatsu Even if you do not use this extension, and a user enables email notifications manually for mentions/replies, the PrettyMail templates for those actions would still be used.. this extension just enables those notifications for users by default in their preferences.

So yes it does work with, but they are not related. One changes default notification behaviour for a user for replies and mentions, the other is used for email notification templates. PrettyMail is restricted to a few different types of email templates (default, subscription/new post, mentioned user, mentioned post).
