    Description

      If some kind of clustering or sync mechanism is not implemented, then on an installation with multiple public instances errors could occur (including those which could mean that a website is not adhering to GDPR and is liable for legal action.)

      Examples

      • Different visitors are stored on different public instances.
      • A visitor is storied on different public insgtances, with different consent info on each.
      • A visitor changes consent on one instance - but that is not reflected on the other.
      • A visitor requests to be forgotten - but is only forgotten on one server.

      On the PUR documentation pages we include a note

      "The user account is only created on the public instance. Make sure to backup this data when using several public instances, the instances or at least the users workspace needs to be clustered in order to share accounts between different instances. Another option is to implement observation based synchronization in order to replicate user accounts across instances."

      (https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS57/Public+User+Registration+module)

       

       We need some kind of similar information on the GDPR/privacy pages.
