<p>Stores selling products to B2B and B2C customers must often adjust product prices and catalog visibility for different user roles. However, before that, they must assign user roles to hundreds and thousands of customers. This extension allows you to display a user role dropdown on the registration page to allow customers to choose their role. Previously registered customers can change their user role from the “My Account” page.</p>
<p>You can display selected user roles in the dropdown, enable manual approval for specific user roles, and leave the rest for auto-approval.</p>
<div class="woo-sc-box normal">If you want to add custom registration fields and user roles dropdown along with approve new user, please buy our <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/custom-user-registration-fields-for-woocommerce/">Custom Registration Fields Extension</a></div>

<h3><strong>Display selected user roles in dropdown:</strong></h3>
<p>Instead of showing all user roles, this extension enables you to show only relevant user roles in the dropdown and keep VIP user roles at the admin’s disposal, to assign from the backend as they see fit.</p>

<h3><strong>Manual and auto-approval: </strong></h3>
<p>You can enable manual approval for specific user roles and keep the rest on auto-approval. This feature allows you to validate customers before they can enjoy the benefits of special user roles. The customer will be able to login and will be assigned the default user role until the new user role request is approved.</p>

<h3>Add dropdown to My Account page</h3>
<p>This plugin allows you to display the same user roles dropdown on the My Account page. This is completely optional, given that you may not want to give your user the option of changing their role once it has been assigned.</p>

<p>Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce adds a self-service privacy center to WooCommerce My Account, giving customers a clear place to request data exports, ask for data erasure, and start an account deletion workflow.</p>
<p>It helps store teams reduce manual privacy request emails, manage customer privacy workflows from WooCommerce Admin, and support GDPR-style privacy request handling with a cleaner customer experience. Customers can see available privacy actions, follow request status, download completed export files, and receive updates during account deletion. Store teams can configure privacy options, manage account-closure review, customize plugin-managed emails, and control which staff users can help manage privacy workflows.</p>
<h2>What you’ll get</h2>
<p>With Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce, you can add customer privacy workflow tools directly to your store:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Data Privacy area in My Account:</strong> Give customers one clear place to manage supported privacy actions from their WooCommerce account.</li>
<li><strong>Personal data export requests:</strong> Let customers request a copy of their personal data and download completed export files when available.</li>
<li><strong>Personal data erasure requests:</strong> Allow customers to submit erasure requests and follow their status from My Account.</li>
<li><strong>Account deletion workflow:</strong> Add a structured account-closure flow with OTP confirmation, hold-period handling, cancellation support, and customer-facing status updates.</li>
<li><strong>Request history and status tracking:</strong> Show customers what is pending, confirmed, completed, cancelled, or awaiting follow-up.</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce Admin privacy workspace:</strong> Manage privacy settings, account-closure requests, workflow options, staff access, and plugin-managed emails from WooCommerce Admin.</li>
<li><strong>Editable privacy emails:</strong> Customize plugin-managed customer and staff emails for clearer privacy communication.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy staff access controls:</strong> Decide which staff users can help manage privacy workflows and internal notifications.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Add a privacy center to WooCommerce My Account</h2>
<p>Customers should not need to contact support just to find out how to request their data or close their account.</p>
<p>Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce adds a dedicated Data Privacy area to My Account, where customers can start supported privacy actions and follow request progress from one place.</p>
<p>Customers can:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Request a personal data export:</strong> Start an export request from inside their account.</li>
<li><strong>Request erasure of eligible stored information:</strong> Submit an erasure request through a guided WooCommerce flow.</li>
<li><strong>Start account deletion:</strong> Begin an account-closure workflow with confirmation and status messaging.</li>
<li><strong>View request history:</strong> See previous and current privacy requests in one place.</li>
<li><strong>Download completed exports:</strong> Access completed export files when download links are available.</li>
<li><strong>Follow account-closure status:</strong> See hold-period, cancellation, and staff-message updates when enabled.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Scale privacy request handling</h2>
<p>Manual privacy request handling can become slow and inconsistent as a store grows. Use Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce to create a clearer process for customers and staff.</p>
<p>Use the plugin to:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Reduce manual support work:</strong> Give customers self-service privacy actions instead of relying on back-and-forth support emails for every step.</li>
<li><strong>Improve customer trust:</strong> Make privacy options easier to find inside the account area customers already use.</li>
<li><strong>Keep workflows organized:</strong> Track request progress, account-closure milestones, staff notes, and customer-visible updates.</li>
<li><strong>Support GDPR-style workflows:</strong> Help your store manage export, erasure, and deletion requests more consistently while working with WordPress privacy tools.</li>
<li><strong>Give staff the right access:</strong> Assign privacy-management access to selected team members instead of exposing privacy tasks broadly.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Let customers request exports and erasure</h2>
<p>Give customers a clearer way to start privacy requests from their WooCommerce account.</p>
<p>Customers can request a copy of their personal data, submit an erasure request, and follow request status from My Account. Store owners can control which privacy actions are available and how long completed export links remain available.</p>
<p>This gives customers a better self-service experience while keeping export and erasure handling aligned with WordPress privacy tools.</p>
<h2>Manage account deletion with confirmation and review</h2>
<p>Account deletion often needs more care than a one-click delete button.</p>
<p>Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce adds a guided account deletion workflow with OTP confirmation, optional staff review, hold-period handling, cancellation support, and customer-visible communication.</p>
<p>This helps stores create a clearer account-closure process while giving customers visibility into what is happening and what comes next.</p>
<p>Account-closure workflow tools include:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>OTP confirmation:</strong> Require customer confirmation before the account-closure process continues.</li>
<li><strong>Hold-period handling:</strong> Give stores a structured window before final account deletion.</li>
<li><strong>Cancellation support:</strong> Allow account-closure requests to be cancelled when the workflow allows it.</li>
<li><strong>Customer-visible updates:</strong> Show status messages, milestones, and next steps in My Account.</li>
<li><strong>Internal staff notes:</strong> Keep request context available for the privacy team.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Manage privacy workflows in WooCommerce Admin</h2>
<p>Store teams can manage privacy workflows from a dedicated WooCommerce Admin workspace instead of piecing together settings across different screens.</p>
<p>The admin workspace helps staff:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Configure available actions:</strong> Choose which privacy actions appear to customers in My Account.</li>
<li><strong>Manage export and erasure options:</strong> Control customer-facing privacy request behavior.</li>
<li><strong>Review account-closure requests:</strong> Inspect request details, reasons, milestones, and messages.</li>
<li><strong>Approve or cancel workflows:</strong> Manage account-closure review steps when enabled.</li>
<li><strong>Manage plugin emails:</strong> Edit plugin-managed customer and staff privacy email templates.</li>
<li><strong>Assign privacy access:</strong> Control which staff users can help manage privacy workflows.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Customize privacy emails and staff access</h2>
<p>Privacy requests need clear communication between customers and store staff.</p>
<p>The plugin includes editable templates for plugin-managed privacy emails, including account-closure messages, customer-visible updates, staff alerts, and erasure approval messages.</p>
<p>Store owners can also assign privacy-management access to specific staff users and control whether the WordPress Administration Email Address receives internal privacy notifications.</p>
<h2>Works with WordPress privacy tools</h2>
<p>Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce works with WordPress privacy tools for export and erasure requests.</p>
<p>The plugin adds the WooCommerce My Account experience, admin workflow controls, account deletion handling, staff access controls, request visibility, and plugin-managed privacy communication around those existing privacy workflows.</p>
<h2>Best for</h2>
<p>Data Privacy Manager for WooCommerce is a strong fit for:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>WooCommerce stores:</strong> Add customer self-service privacy requests to My Account.</li>
<li><strong>Stores handling GDPR-style workflows:</strong> Support privacy request handling for export, erasure, and account deletion.</li>
<li><strong>Support teams:</strong> Reduce manual privacy request emails and repeated customer follow-ups.</li>
<li><strong>Agencies:</strong> Deliver a clearer privacy request experience for WooCommerce client stores.</li>
<li><strong>Stores with privacy staff:</strong> Assign access to the team members who should manage privacy workflows.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to get started</h2>

<li><strong>Install and activate</strong> the .zip file in your WooCommerce store.</li>
<li><strong>Open WooCommerce > Data Privacy</strong> to configure privacy workflow settings.</li>
<li><strong>Choose which customer actions are available</strong> in My Account.</li>
<li><strong>Review export, erasure, and account-deletion settings</strong> for your store.</li>
<li><strong>Customize plugin-managed privacy emails</strong> if needed.</li>
