4.1 holding pattern
Currently in Moodle 4.0 the BBB integration is enabled by default, and linked to the free tier service of blindsidenetworks, with servers in Canada.
While there are multiple options to use alternative servers, including self-hosting, there is a risk that sites who need to comply with GDPR are not aware that data for the free tier by default is stored in Canada.
To create a clearer path for enabling the BBB integration, and choosing where to store the data, we need to make the following changes:
- Disable the plugin by default for new installs and existing sites that are using the the default free tier service
- As part of enabling the plugin include a checkbox where the site admin can agree to blindsidenetworks' Data Processing Agreement (DPA) if using the default free tier service
Agreement to the DPA can be a checkbox on the settings page, or a in separate pop-up.
For sites that are upgrading already have the plugin in use we should leave their existing settings in place to not disturb their operations.
For sites that are upgrading while using a different service other than the default, we should not disable the plugin nor ask for confirmation of the acceptance of the current DPA as they have voluntarily chosen this service.
We will need to provide clear language to the admin.
First draft:
In order to meet with your data protection obligations, as a data controller, prior to enabling this plugin, you may need to ensure that you have read and accepted the data processing agreement with Blindside Networks Inc. at https://blindsidenetworks.com/dpa-moodle-free-tier.
Language to be further fine-tuned. We may also want to include a link to the other service providers, e.g. https://bigbluebutton.org/commercial-support/
