XcooBee Corporate

<p>Since the inception of the GDPR and CCPA website owners have had the same problem.  How do we ask our users for their data in a privacy compliant way and how do we manage this data and their consent over life?</p>
<p>The answer to this is the XcooBee Form plugin for Data Consent. It allows you to ask for data and record consent automatically. You receive consent for every data point and its specific use.</p>
<p>XcooBee Forms are highly secure forms that you can use instead of or alongside your regular WordPress forms. Users interacting with secure forms also give you specific consent you need to be compliant and you or your company can manage consent via the XcooBee Privacy Network.</p>
<p>It is that simple.</p>
<h3>Process</h3>
<ol>
<li>You create a XcooBee campaign that defines the data you wish to Collect.</li>
<li>You create a short-code in the settings area</li>
<li>You can copy and paste your campaign shortcode anywhere inside your WordPress site blogs, pages, and posts.</li>
</ol>
<p>The shortcode inserts a button wherever you paste it on your page, including next to similar submit form buttons.<br />
Once clicked a XcooBee consent dialog is triggered. This behaves similar to PayPal window. Rather than asking for your PayPal payment it will ask for the information your sites needs from the user including the permission to use the data for the purposes you identified.</p>
<p>You site, then, receives the fully encrypted data package to use in the application.</p>
<h3>The Power Of XcooBee Supported Data Consent</h3>
<p>Once users use XcooBee to send you data your site will have a few advantages:</p>
<h3>Hardened against Phishing</h3>
<p>The XcooBee Data Consent pattern is hardened against phishing scams. Users are presented with unified language and information including security images that identify to them that the request is genuine.</p>
<h3>Transport and Storage Encryption</h3>
<p>XcooBee guarantees that all communication, storage, and transfer is over encrypted channels only. There is no user data that lives or transits through XcooBee without encryption.</p>
<h3>Fast Completion</h3>
<p>XcooBee allows users of the plugin to quickly fill in many data points. With one button click a user can answer the overall request. This lowers friction and speeds up transaction as well as lowering error rates.</p>
<h3>Sensitive Data Aware</h3>
<p>XcooBee never stores sensitive data such as financial and health information directly on its servers. Users are always asked to provide it from their devices or through re-entry.</p>
<h3>Bypass insecure Wifi</h3>
<p>Once the user has interacted with the XcooBee consent window, the data is prepared for transmission to your WordPress or processing site directly as identified in your campaign setup by the XcooBee backend. This transmission is from the XcooBee servers to your backend bypassing local wifi and insecure hotspots.</p>
<h3>Audience of One</h3>
<p>The user data is prepared via client and customer side PGP signatures to be only legible to the end destination, namely you. So even the XcooBee Network is not able to read the contents. The XcooBee Data Consent Plugin will automatically and transparently handle the decryption for your WordPress site before making data available.</p>
<h3>Detect man-in-the-middle attacks</h3>
<p>XcooBee event transmissions that have user data automatically include HMAC digital signatures that allow the receiving WordPress site to detect whether the data was modified in transport. The XcooBee Data Consent Plugin automatically decodes and evaluates all signatures and informs your WordPress site about trouble.</p>
<p>The XcooBee Data Consent Plug-in is an Add-on. It requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcoobee/" rel="ugc">XcooBee For WordPress</a> plugin to work correctly. You will need to install it first.</p>

XcooBee Form

Collect information and data consent from users in GDPR and CCPA compliant way and automatically manage associated consent via XcooBee network.

<p>Many times you have the need to accept and send files securely via your website. The standard upload/download pattern is cumbersome and tends to be insecure, especially when your WordPress is co-hosted with many other sites.<br />
Now, add the new Privacy regulations (GDPR or CCPA) to this mix and you are guaranteed to have a headache on your hands.<br />
Whether it is CAD drawings, contracts or job applications, you need an improved mechanism other than an openly accessible web server or email to securely manage the movement of documents.</p>
<p>The XcooBee Document Add-on handles these and many more document exchange scenarios while guaranteeing file delivery, security and proper privacy compliance.<br />
Since the file transfer is using the XcooBee network it guarantees full privacy and security and encryption at every step including the removal of all data traces shortly after documents have been delivered.</p>
<p>More specifically with this plugin you will be able to:<br />
    – validate that only the designated type of document is accepted<br />
    – accept additional processing data and messages<br />
    – handle large file sizes not possible via email<br />
    – start a custom workflow on the XcooBee network<br />
    – design drop zones on your website to drop off any type of file<br />
    – send documents to recipients securely</p>
<p>Through the XcooBee network:<br />
    – start workflow with different tasks, such as cleanup, resize, validation, digital signature<br />
    – drop of to cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox)<br />
    – record acceptance, arrival, and receiving times of documents<br />
    – get activity history<br />
    – set account and transfer limits</p>
<p>The XcooBee Document Plug-in is an Add-on. It requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcoobee/" rel="ugc">XcooBee For WordPress</a> plugin to work correctly. You will need to install it first.</p>
<h3>How to Use</h3>
<p>To work with the document plugin you need to create file upload zones (dropzones) on your pages. You add these dropzones via shortcodes to your pages.<br />
You design the dropzone shortcode in the settings area of this plugin. The settings also is where you can check out all the short-code options and parameters.</p>
<h3>Bee System Names</h3>
<p>In order for the dropzone to be configured correctly you need to designate a XcooBee bee to take on the processing of the documents. A XcooBee bee is like a task manager, it manages the jobs assigned to it. You will need to use the bee-system name as assigned by the XcooBee system.</p>
<p>The easiest way to search for bee system-names is use the Search box in the plugin settings area.</p>
<p>In our example shortcodes we use the “transfer” bee which is responsible for directly delivering files to recipients.</p>
<p>You can <a href="https://app.xcoobee.net/user/beesDetail" rel="nofollow ugc">search XcooBee</a> for more bees and even create your own workflow with your own name assigned to your bee (job). You can find details for each bee including its system-name by looking at the <a href="https://app.xcoobee.net/bee/transfer" rel="nofollow ugc">Bee Details screen</a> and expanding the “Advanced Parameters”.</p>
<h3>Sending Files and Documents</h3>
<p>If you need to send files via XcooBee we expose a quick use function <code>xbee_send_file</code> for all your plugins and your PHP code.<br />
You can use it to send documents securely.<br />
Please note that this will use points as appropriate under your registered API account.</p>
