Handling of GDPR legal texts

Therefore are GDPR texts that contains descriptions, instructions or legal texts unique for each NSP installation. NSP basic installation only contains general information that has to be customized by administrator.

Basic GDPR descriptions, instructions and legal texts are system defined language tags in NSP. In this version a function is inserted that automatically lock those tags and then protect the texts to be updated in future upgrades when new language xml files are imported.

GDPR descriptions, instructions and legal texts can be edited only in GDPR user interface or in Language Manager, they cannot be imported from xml file. If you want to import texts via xml file although, the texts first must be unlocked manually in Language Manager.
