# GDPR Logging Setting

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve read somewhere on this support forum that we may need to add this to the
   config file to stop personal details being logged:
 * define(‘MC4WP_LOGGING’, false);
 * Can you please clarify if the new features yet to be added in an up coming update
   will include an easier way to stop the logging of personal data altogether. For
   example if in the Miscellaneous settings there could be a logging option to switch
   it off altogether perhaps?
 * Many thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, we will include a setting “delete data after x days”, so you don’t keep 
   it longer than needed.
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let us know!

 * So the only way to switch it off completely is going to be the config setting
   even after the new functionality is added?
 * Many thanks.

 * Hi MissTT,
 * If you are on version 4.4 of the MailChimp for WordPress Premium plugin then 
   you can already do the following stuff.
 * – Delete log items older than X days.
    – Include log items in personal data export
   requests (needs WordPress 4.9.6) – Include log it ems in personal data erase 
   requests (needs WordPress 4.9.6)
 * Alternatively, you can disable logging entirely by adding the following line 
   to your `wp-config.php` file.
 *     ```
       define(‘MC4WP_LOGGING’, false);
       ```
   
 * So to answer your last question: yes, turning it off entirely needs the constant
   at this point.
 * Cheers, Danny
