Policies

The Policies plugin provides a new user sign-on process, with ability to define multiple policies (site, privacy, third party), track user consents, and manage updates and versioning of the policies.

The Policies plugin forms part of Moodle’s privacy feature set and will assist sites to become GDPR compliant. It requires Moodle 3.4.2, which also includes the ability to check whether a new user is a minor. The plugin will be integrated in the Moodle 3.5 release in May 2018.

User consents

• The Consent page lists a summary of each policy
• The user is asked to specifically agree to each policy
• When the user agrees to the policies they will be taken to the standard user registration form
• The site admin or privacy officer has an overview of user consents, and can filter by policy to determine who consented at what time
• The site admin or privacy officer can manually consent on behalf of users
