Does Blog Revolution for PrestaShop support comments and GDPR?

Question published 2205 views

Yes. Blog Revolution ships with a native comment system and registers the three PrestaShop GDPR hooks, so you can let readers discuss your articles without bolting on a third-party service or worrying about data-subject requests.

Blog Revolution lets you review comment and GDPR options in its module settings.

On the comment side you get:

  • Comments from logged-in customers or guests (name + email), submitted over an AJAX endpoint so the page does not reload.
  • Threaded replies, star ratings, and a moderation queue – approve, reject or mark as spam, or switch on auto-approval if you trust your audience.
  • Optional Google reCAPTCHA and reply-notification emails, all toggled from the back office.

On the privacy side, when you enable the GDPR option the module answers PrestaShop's built-in data hooks: it declares what comment data it stores (name, email, IP), exports a customer's comments on a data-access request, and deletes their comments on an erasure request – recalculating affected post ratings afterwards.

One honest note: these hooks cover the comment data this module holds. They are not a store-wide privacy tool and not legal advice – your overall GDPR posture still needs a policy and, ideally, a DPO.

The native path stores comment status as pending, approved, spam or rejected, and moderation actions recalculate the post rating when ratings are enabled. New comments are checked for the comments-enabled flag, honeypot, consent, length and optional reCAPTCHA before being saved. Auto-approval is off by default, which is the safer setting for a public blog; enable it only if you are comfortable cleaning up spam after the fact.

Blog Revolution can also switch the visible provider to native, Disqus, Facebook or tabbed/social combinations. The GDPR hooks described above cover the module's own native comment records, including guest name/email and IP where stored. They do not export or delete data held by Disqus, Facebook or another external provider, so those services still need their own privacy review and policy wording.
