As the Atlassian JIRA GDPR came into force, most businesses have pushed data protection to the top of their agendas. This affects typically all client & user data, including data that converges in an extranet where customers, interested parties, and partners communicate and collaborate. In Confluence-based extranet systems, the Confluence app allocates you to make sure that users consent to your terms of use and data protection information before they log into the system.

The Space Privacy – Extranet for Confluence application addresses data protection problems at a more granular level.

This correlates to the concept of Data Protection by Design as introduced in the Confluence GDPR.
