<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>

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201575" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-fraud-prevention-333.png" alt="" width="878" height="552" /></p>
<h2>Multiple risk factors to choose from</h2>
<p>This feature will create dynamic rules to manage all types of risk factors, such as:</p>
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-container">
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-content wccom-bundle-section-left">
<h4>Apply by product category and user role</h4>
<p>Merchants can restrict rule applications by product categories and user roles. Once the restriction is applied, the risk factors and fraud prevention rules will not be applied to the order if it contains selected user roles, products, or categories.</p>
</div>
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-image"><img src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-2.png?strip=all&w=900" alt="imagealt" /></div>
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-container">
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-content wccom-bundle-section-right">
<h4>Assign risk based on user region</h4>
<p>This feature allows you to restrict users based on their country or region. It helps prevent fraudulent activities by blocking high-risk countries where fake payments or orders are usually generated. You can also restrict access based on the store’s country, shipping country, billing country, and their associated IP addresses.</p>
</div>
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-image"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004898525" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-7.png?strip=all&w=900" alt="buy more save more for woocommerce" width="980" height="810" /></div>

<div class="wccom-bundle-section-container">
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-content wccom-bundle-section-left">
<h4>Assign risk based on user details</h4>
<p>Merchants can assign risk based on the user’s email, email domain, PayPal verification, and first-order check. Once the risk is assigned, our intelligent fraud prevention extension will take action based on your preferences for risky orders</p>
</div>
<div class="wccom-bundle-section-image"><img src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-3.png?strip=all&w=900" alt="imagealt" /></div>

<h2>Restrict the place order button by IP address, address, and emails</h2>
<p>Restrict the “Place Order” button based on various criteria, such as IP address, location (country, city, or street), and specific email addresses with this extension. If any user meets these conditions of restriction, they will be unable to complete the checkout process. When a restricted user clicks the checkout button to place an order, an error message is displayed at the top of the screen, informing them that they are restricted.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201709" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-331.png" alt="" width="878" height="564" /></p>
<h2>Multiple Integrations for Extra Scrutiny</h2>
<p>Apart from built-in fraud prevention features, this extension is fully compatible with Google recaptcha for woocommerce for extra checkout protection. In addition to Google recaptcha, this extension contains a built-in image CAPTCHA for additional security.<br />
To prevent fake PayPal transactions, this extension includes PayPal email verification functionality, which informs you in real-time whether the PayPal email is verified or not. For additional IP scrutiny, merchants can utilize the built-in IPQualityScore API, which reports visits and orders associated with suspicious IP addresses. Moreover, the use of the SocialScanner API can help by reviewing a customer’s social media.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201712" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-332.png" alt="" width="670" height="565" /></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Add Captcha to Make Checkout Extra Secure</h2>
<p>For an additional layer of security, this extension offers a built-in image-based captcha creator, which provides additional security against bot-based carding attempts. If you wish to use V2 or V3 of Google’s reCaptcha to tackle spam and carding attempts, this extension is fully compatible with Google reCaptcha for WooCommerce.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005155963" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-fraud-prevention-1.png" alt="" width="879" height="855" /></p>
<h2>Customizable Risk Weight for Each Factor</h2>
<p>Merchants can configure anti-fraud rules as needed. By assigning weights to each factor, merchants can easily create the order scrutiny process as hard as they see fit. Assign weights from 1 to 10 to each factor; the higher the weight, the riskier the order. The combined weight of all factors equals a total risk score of 100.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201719" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-335.png" alt="" width="980" height="431" /></p>
<h2>Decide actions to prevent fraud based on order risk</h2>
<p>It is entirely upto the merchants to decide what percentage of risk is considered low, medium, and high. Once the risk threshold percentages are added, merchants can easily decide what actions are to be taken in case of high and medium-risk orders. These actions are:</p>
<h3>Accept the order and notify the admin</h3>
<p>Once a medium/high-risk order is placed, the order will be accepted, and the admin will be notified via email of a medium/high-risk order.</p>
<h3>Reject order automatically</h3>
<p>Automatically rejects medium and high-risk orders; you can reinstate these orders from the order listing page.</p>
<h3>Accept order and change order status</h3>
<p>If this action is enabled, medium/high-risk orders will be accepted normally, but the order status will change so the admin can take suitable action later.</p>
</div>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201717" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-334.png" alt="" width="878" height="526" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left">Get notified of risk reports via email</h2>
<p>You can customize the email settings using this extension. It allows you to restrict users from sharing the risk report via email, helping to prevent fraudulent activities and orders. You can also restrict users from sending details of high-risk orders via email, ensuring that only the admin is separately informed.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201724" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-336.png" alt="" width="874" height="563" /></p>
<h2>Comprehensive log to view all flagged users</h2>
<p>This WooCommerce Anti Fraud extension enables merchants to maintain logs of all flagged users. You can track the details of the flagged user by using the threat date, user ID, order ID, user email, total block score, and the reason for the block, and then take appropriate actions.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005201727" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-anti-fraud-337.png" alt="" width="874" height="419" /></p>
