    I use profile builder for registration in a website, time to time users contact me about their information is on google search, where they can even access their CVs, I spoke with IT team and they explain that due to the plugin profile builder, can you fix this or I have to replace it!!! this putting me in a critical situation for non respecting GPDR.

    Thanks

    Hi @ab500,

    When you say information, are you referring to information like: Username, First Name, Last Name, etc. (that are from the Default fields), or are you referring to media information, like pictures, PDF, CSV, etc?

    Hello again, thank you for your reply, unfortunally I can see both the personal info of the user plus the link of the CV, by only a search in google.

    Hi @ab500,

    Specifically to our plugin, that information can appear only if you’ve created a front-end User Listing of your users (where that information is displayed).

    In case you do not have a User Listing created with our plugin then please check on your site to not have a plugin that also has that information or that has a similar user listing functionality.

    Now regarding the Uploaded Files (png, pdf, csv, etc.) those are added inside the WordPress Media Gallery and they have attachment pages and are also indexed (this is a default WordPress functionality). In case you want to disable this, then you can try to do that by following the information from here: https://www.greengeeks.com/tutorials/set-wordpress-to-disable-attachment-pages-for-media/.

    Best regards,
