Overview

## What does LiveStreet CMS do?

## **What LiveStreet CMS is and how it works**

LiveStreet CMS is provided by LiveStreet (open source) as self hosted software and runs on infrastructure that you control. It supports your website functionality directly, so you act as the controller for any personal data it processes.

## **What data and cookies LiveStreet CMS processes**

LiveStreet CMS processes the data your visitors and members submit and stores first party cookies for sessions or preferences in your own database, so no data leaves your environment unless you connect an external provider.

## **GDPR and ePrivacy implications**

Even when software is self hosted you remain fully responsible under the GDPR. You decide the purposes and the means, so you must document the processing, secure the data and respect the rights of the people whose data you hold.

## **Do you need consent**

The cookies LiveStreet CMS needs are strictly necessary for the service to work, so they are exempt from prior consent under the ePrivacy rules, but you must still inform visitors about them.

## **International data transfers**

LiveStreet CMS is self hosted, so the personal data of your members is stored on your own infrastructure and is not transmitted to a third party by default. Even so, record the hosting location in your records of processing to demonstrate accountability under Article 30 GDPR.

## **How to stay compliant with LiveStreet CMS**

Keep LiveStreet CMS updated, restrict who can access the data, set a sensible retention period, describe any cookies it sets in your cookie policy and, if you forward data to an external provider, sign a data processing agreement with that provider.

### What is the legal basis for LiveStreet CMS?

The lawful basis is Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Record this basis in your records of processing and state it in the privacy notice shown to visitors.

### Does LiveStreet CMS transfer data to a third country?

By default no transfer to a third country takes place. LiveStreet CMS is self hosted, so the personal data of your members is stored on your own infrastructure and is not transmitted to a third party by default. Reassess if you later enable an external integration.

### Do I need a DPIA for LiveStreet CMS?

A DPIA is usually not required for LiveStreet CMS on its own because the processing is limited and low risk, but document your reasoning.

### How do I implement LiveStreet CMS in a compliant way?

Implement LiveStreet CMS through your consent layer: keep strictly necessary functions always on, gate optional ones behind consent, sign a data processing agreement with LiveStreet (open source) as self hosted software where it acts as a processor and keep your cookie policy in sync with the real cookies.

### What are the alternatives to LiveStreet CMS?

Alternatives include other self hosted or privacy friendly tools. Hosting the data yourself avoids an external transfer, which simplifies your compliance position.

### How do I update my cookie policy for LiveStreet CMS?

List every cookie LiveStreet CMS sets in your cookie policy with its name, purpose and retention, state the legal basis, name LiveStreet (open source) as self hosted software where relevant, and update the policy whenever the tool changes so refusals in your banner are always honoured.
