More Hustle, Less Hassle<\/h2>\n

The introduction of GDPR compliance regulations<\/a> in 2018 means that all businesses now need to check how they handle information areas like user privacy and data protection. It also means that their websites have to comply with security and protection measures, providing<\/span>\u00a0measures and give users not only with access to information about how their data is being used, but also the data itself upon request.<\/p>\n

For businesses<\/a>, website owners<\/a>, and website developers<\/a>\u00a0implementing GDPR regulations,\u00a0 and ensuring that user security, privacy, and data requirements are met can be a hassle. We know this because our plugin users and members tell us so, and we do our best to listen.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, how do Hustle’s new features help halve the hassle? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

More Muscle, Safer Hustle<\/h2>\n

Hustle 4 offers new features, integrations, and WordPress pop-up plugin security options for handling personal data and user privacy on your WordPress site. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here is some of the new razzle-dazzle you’ll find under the hood:<\/span><\/p>\n

GDPR Compliance Integrations With More Email Services<\/h3>\n
\"Hustle
Hustle has improved email integrations for better GDPR data handling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Email companies need to integrate better GDPR-related processes into their services. Hustle takes the hassle out of doing this by letting you configure various data handling options directly through our integration settings.<\/p>\n

GDPR Compliance With Sendy Integration<\/h4>\n

Sendy is a self-hosted email newsletter application that lets you send trackable emails via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES).<\/p>\n

In response to a user request<\/a> posted in the WordPress.org support forum by @thebeefchief, we have updated Hustle to include the GDPR tag in the information sent to Sendy, so users can be marked as GDPR compliant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you use Sendy<\/a> and have either the free Hustle plugin or the WPMU DEV Dashboard<\/a> installed on your WordPress site, all you have to do is navigate to the Hustle >\u00a0Integrations<\/strong> menu, click on the ‘Add Integration’ button, and configure\u00a0Sendy to get your API Key and list ID, and you’re all good to go.<\/p>\n

Set MailChimp GDPR Fields from Hustle<\/h4>\n

We’ve also made improvements to Hustle’s integration with MailChimp.<\/p>\n

With Hustle, you can look up the interest groups on a MailChimp list and add people to that group. Now, you can also set the marketing preferences for MailChimp’s GDPR options<\/a> and email consent.<\/p>\n

Store or Sync Consent in Active Campaign<\/h4>\n

When a HelpScout<\/a> user posted a question asking if it was possible to sync or store the reply from the GDPR option in Hustle to ActiveCampaign<\/a>, we caught wind of the conversation and added it to Hustle 4 as a new feature. So, yes ActiveCampaign users — you can do that now!<\/p>\n

Anonymize GDPR Data Tracking Periodically<\/h4>\n

We have added an option to anonymize the stored GDPR data periodically for submissions (local list entries) and tracking (views and conversions) under\u00a0Hustle -> Settings -> Viewer’s privacy.<\/p>\n

Uninstall & Reset Plugin Options<\/h3>\n

What happens to data and settings if you temporarily lose your mind and decide to uninstall Hustle?<\/p>\n
