Adding GDPR Compliance To Campaign Forms

Introduction

Ensuring GDPR compliance in online campaigns is crucial. This guide will walk you through adding a GDPR compliance checkbox, along with Terms of Use and Privacy Policy links, to your campaign submission forms.

Steps to Add GDPR Compliance

1. Access Form Editor:

• Navigate to the ‘Settings' step of your campaign.
• Go to ‘Submission Form' and choose the form you wish to edit.

2. Insert GDPR Checkbox:

• Scroll to the bottom of the available fields.
• Drag and drop a ‘Checkbox' into your form, placing it among other checkboxes.

3. Use HTML for Text Labels:

• Use an online HTML editor to format the text with hyperlinks.
• Example:
  • I agree to the [Terms of Use](Your-Terms-Of-Use-Link) and [Privacy Policy](Your-Privacy-Policy-Link).
• Make sure to replace placeholders with actual URLs to your Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

4. Edit Checkbox Label:

• In the ‘Label' field of your checkbox, paste the HTML code.
• Remove any unnecessary HTML tags (like <p> tags) for cleaner formatting.

5. Set Checkbox Options:

• In the ‘Options' field, set the value to ‘Yes' or ‘Agreed'.
• This value will be stored in the database for each individual who checks the box, providing proof of their acceptance.

6. Preview and Adjust:

• Use the ‘Preview' feature to see how the form looks.
• The checkbox should be inline with the label, displaying the hyperlinked Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

7. Open Links in New Window (Optional):

• To keep your campaign page open, set the links to open in a new window.
• In the HTML editor, use the target="_blank" attribute within your hyperlink tags.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily add GDPR-compliant checkboxes to your campaign forms, ensuring that participants acknowledge and agree to your Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. This setup not only aligns with legal requirements but also maintains transparency and builds trust with your audience.
