Benefit From an All-in-One APA Compliance Solution

Put every Australian Privacy Act tool in a single, accessible location with the Privacy Center Dashboard. Customers can review consents, view Privacy and Cookie Policies, contact the designated compliance individual, and manage their personal data—all without leaving one place. The APA Extension for Magento 2 also integrates seamlessly with CMS pages, letting admins track policy revision history and notify shoppers of any updates.

Download Consumer Personal Information Securely

Give shoppers the ability to export all personal data your store has collected—including account details, addresses, order history, and wishlist items—in both human-readable and machine-readable formats (Excel, CSV). The entire process is password-protected to safeguard account security. Admins can monitor every download request through a dedicated backend log, and built-in API support allows data retrieval from third-party applications as well.

Permanently Remove Customer Accounts & Anonymize Data

Empower customers to request complete erasure of their personal information at any time. Submitted requests are processed automatically within 24 hours, after which all personal data is deleted and order records are anonymized as guest orders. Customers can cancel a pending request simply by logging back in within that window, and administrators can manage or cancel requests directly from the backend removal log. The APA Magento 2 extension also supports data deletion and anonymization for third-party applications via its built-in API.

Display an APA-Compliant Cookie Consent Notice

A Magento 2 Cookie Consent extension (valued at $129) is bundled with the APA Extension for Magento 2, allowing merchants to present a fully customizable APA-compliant Cookie Consent Banner right out of the box. Cookies are only stored once a visitor actively grants consent, and shoppers can choose to accept or decline specific cookie categories—such as marketing and statistics—rather than consenting to all at once. Implement Google Tag Manager functionality to prevent any third-party services from executing before consent is given.

Collect and Manage Customer Consents From the Backend

Place consent checkboxes—such as "I agree to the Privacy Policy" or "I am over 16 years old"—on registration, checkout, contact us, and newsletter subscription pages with no code changes required. For any other location on the store, our developer guide covers manual placement. The APA Magento 2 backend provides a complete consent log tracking the date, page location, policy version, customer name, email, and IP address for every recorded agreement.

Target Australian Residents Only

Make the most of the built-in GeoIP functionality to detect each visitor's country or state and personalize the compliance experience on the fly. Cookie Consent Notices and consent checkboxes can be shown exclusively to Australian visitors while remaining hidden for the rest of the world. Store owners can even configure the "I'm over 16 years old" checkbox to display only to Australian consumers, making minor tracking straightforward and accurate.

Schedule Popup & Email Notifications

Trigger popup notifications upon customer login to request acceptance of updated Privacy Policies, Terms of Service, or other agreements—including intercepting logins via social networks. Transactional emails keep shoppers informed about successful data download completions and account removal requests, providing an additional layer of transparency that builds customer trust.

Built-in Support for All Plumrocket Data Privacy Extensions

The APA Extension for Magento 2 is designed to work in tandem with Plumrocket's full suite of data privacy tools, including extensions for GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and other regulations such as POPIA, APPI, PIPA, and PIPEDA. Every extension in the suite operates seamlessly on the same Magento store without conflicts, so merchants handling customers in Australia, the US, or anywhere else in the world stay covered under all major data protection laws.

Works Flawlessly on Custom & Third-Party Magento 2 Themes

The APA Extension for Magento 2 operates without issue on any third-party Magento 2 theme, from widely used options like Porto and Ultimo to fully custom-built storefronts, including Hyvä Themes.
