For GDPR purposes, Award Force clients (program owners or managers) act as the data controller.
- The data controller decides how personal data is processed
- Award Force acts as the data processor, handling data on your behalf
- Your privacy policy governs how user data is handled within your program
Add a user agreement
You can configure a user agreement to present your terms and privacy policy to users during registration.
When enabled, users must review and accept the agreement before completing registration.
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Content > Content blocks
- Click Add content block
- Set Content location to User agreement
- Enter a Title (this appears as the clickable link)
- Add your Content (displayed in the agreement pop-up)
- Click Save
Display the agreement during registration
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Users > Registration
- Locate the 'Agreement to terms' section
- Click Modify default text
- Insert the {user_agreement} merge field where you want the link to appear
- Click Save
Users will now see a pop-up during registration and must click Read and agreed to continue.
Good to know
- Award Force provides a default privacy policy, but you can supply your own via the user agreement.
- Only one user agreement content block can be active—the most recently created will display.
- If you update your cookie policy link, it must include all Award Force cookies.
- Your privacy policy (as the data controller) is what applies to data processing, not Award Force’s.
