What this holds about a person¶
Profitability Copilot stores nothing about a person. No column of any table it creates holds anything about anybody, nothing it keeps outside a column is keyed to anybody, there is nobody for a request to be about, and nothing leaves the store. The sections below say what that is worth and what keeps it true.
What it holds¶
Profitability Copilot creates no column holding anything about a person, and the gate keeps that true: a column added to any table it creates without a classification beside it fails the build rather than arriving unannounced.
What it holds that is not in a column¶
A file, a cookie and a key in the session are exactly where an erasure written as row deletion reaches nothing, and no schema can be diffed to find one. Each is listed here with what keys it to a person, why it is there, and what removes it.
A file on disk. kyvero.log in the store's own DIR_LOGS, the one diagnostic file every extension in this repository shares, capped at 1 MiB and trimmed oldest-first.
Nothing keys this to a person — every message is put through the diary's redaction rule before a byte is written, which is what makes the file survivable where OpenCart puts its own error log.
Why it is here: A merchant reporting a failure needs one place to look, and a support conversation without it is guesswork on both sides.
What an erasure does: retain.
A file on disk. Not a file on disk at all: php://temp, the in-memory buffer the cost book export is assembled in before it is read back into the response. It is opened, written a line at a time and closed inside one request, and PHP spills it to a temporary file only if it outgrows its memory budget. What goes into it is what the screen offers — product ids, models and purchase prices, which are the merchant's own trade figures and are about no person.
Nothing keys this to a person — the buffer holds catalogue rows and is keyed to the export the administrator asked for, which does not outlive the request that asked for it.
Why it is here: A merchant costing five thousand products does it in a spreadsheet, and an export written straight into the response would have to hold the whole file in memory as a string.
What an erasure does: retain.
A file on disk. The same thing again for the two profit exports: php://temp, the in-memory buffer the dashboard's and the product report's CSV are assembled in before the string is handed to the response. One writer serves both, so there is one buffer to describe. What goes into it is a period's per-product trading figures — product id, name, model, units, money and the cost basis each figure rests on — plus the order id where the merchant has drilled into one order. No name, no address and no contact detail: the export is about what sold, never about who bought it.
Nothing keys this to a person — the buffer holds the report's own rows and is keyed to the export the administrator asked for, which does not outlive the request that asked for it.
Why it is here: A figure that leaves the screen loses the caption that qualified it, so it leaves carrying its cost basis instead — and a file is the only form in which a merchant can take last month's figures to an accountant.
What an erasure does: retain.
What it deliberately does not hold¶
Each of these is a column that could have been stored and was not, with the reason it was not. They are decisions rather than omissions.
A customer_id on the profit row, or any other copy of who the order belonged to.
Nothing this extension reports is per customer. Every screen it has aggregates by product, by period or by store, and the one thing a customer id would buy is a profit per customer report nobody asked for and which would turn a cost book into a profiling tool. Leaving it out is also what makes an orphaned row harmless: a profit row whose order has been deleted holds money and two ids and is reachable by no request about anybody.
A name, an email address, a telephone number, a postal address or an IP address, on any of the four tables.
None of them is an input to any figure here. Profit is revenue less cost, and neither side of that has ever needed to know who bought the thing. A copy would be a second address book a merchant does not know they have, kept in a table whose whole point is that it is never deleted.
Who changed a product's cost, and when, as columns on the cost table.
The change is already recorded in the shared diary, which is redacted on the way in and rotated. A second audit trail in a table nobody queries is a second thing to keep true, and this one would be a durable record of what a named member of staff did, kept for ever, to serve a question the log already answers.
A copy of the order's own columns — the customer's details, the addresses, the payment method's stored data — frozen onto the profit row the way the money is.
The money is frozen because it must not move under a merchant who has closed their books; everything else about the order is read live from core, where it belongs and where an erasure reaches it. Freezing the rest would make this extension the place a customer's details quietly survive their own deletion.
Where it goes¶
Nowhere. Nothing Profitability Copilot holds about a person leaves your store.
What the standard asks, and what this extension answers¶
Nothing here is kept for good: every table this extension creates answers to something that removes a row from it.
Each row below is keyed by the sub-paragraph of the General Data Protection Regulation
it comes from, so that you can read the source and disagree with us. What each state
means is on the data-protection boundary,
once, rather than reworded here. declared is not a pass: it says what the thing is,
not that the thing is fine.
| Article | What this extension supplies toward it | This extension |
|---|---|---|
5(1)(c) |
Every column this extension can put in a store is written down with the one sentence saying why it is there, and a column that is not fails the build — so what a store keeps is what somebody decided to keep rather than what accumulated. Beside it, in the same file and the extension's own voice, is what it deliberately does not keep, and why. | checked, 27 — every column this extension's schema can put in a store |
30(1)(c) |
What this extension holds about a person is published column by column — what the column is, whether it names somebody or points at them, and why it exists — so the record a merchant has to keep can be copied off a page rather than reconstructed out of the database. | declared |
7(1) |
Where anything this extension does rests on somebody having agreed to it, the declaration names the wording they agreed to and where the proof of it is recorded — and where nothing rests on consent it says so, because we did not need any is an answer and a blank is not. | declared |
7(3) |
A declared consent carries the path by which it is withdrawn, or the build fails — because withdrawing has to be no harder than giving, and a consent whose withdrawal path nobody wrote down is one a merchant discovers they cannot honour on the day somebody asks. | checked, 0 — every consent declared anywhere in it |
15(1) |
Every table holding anything about a person answers who that person is and how a request reaches them — a column on the table itself, the path through a table this extension does not own, or the plain statement that nothing on it keys a row to anybody — so that a request either has somewhere to arrive or is told outright that there is nowhere, rather than a screen having to guess which rows are whose. | checked, 0 — every table holding anything about a person |
16(1) |
A column holding a frozen copy of something the store holds elsewhere names the column it was copied from, so that correcting the original is an instruction a merchant can follow rather than a shrug about why the two disagree. | declared |
21(3) |
The row that records somebody saying stop names the subject it is keyed on and the verdict an erasure gives it, so that a live instruction to stop mailing survives the request that was meant to enforce it rather than being deleted by it. | declared |
25(2) |
A column that is only collected when a merchant turns something on names the setting that decides it, and the shipped value is read off the configuration declaration rather than restated here — so what a store collects out of the box is a fact on a page instead of something read out of a controller. | declared |
5(1)(e) |
Every table this extension can put in a store answers what makes a row holding a person go away — one of six verdicts, and a table that answers 'never' says why in the same breath or fails the build — so a store keeping something for ever is keeping it on purpose. | checked, 0 — every table an answer is owed for |
15(1)(d) |
The period each table is kept for is published beside what it holds, as the mechanism and — where there is one — the number or the setting it is read from, so that a merchant answering somebody who asks how long their data will be stored is copying an answer rather than composing one. | declared |
17(3) |
Everything an erasure deliberately keeps is published with the reason it was kept, and a kept column with no reason beside it fails the build — because the exemption a merchant relies on is one they have to be able to state, and the screen states it to them at the moment they press the button. | declared |
17(1) |
A merchant erases one named person from a screen, and what happens is what the declaration said would happen: the rows and the files an erasure takes are gone, what it keeps is still there, the person standing beside them is untouched, and pressing it a second time is safe. Asserted by running it on a real store — the only place in this standard where erasure behaviour is ever observed, and the only place a file is. | Asserted on a real store by make smoke, and deliberately not here — this page is generated by make check, which is green with no store at all, so a verdict rendered from it would rest on nothing. |
30(1)(f) |
The envisaged time limits for erasure are published per table rather than per extension, so the line a merchant copies into their own record says which data it is about instead of averaging seven answers into one. | declared |
15(1)(c) |
Every destination this extension's holdings leave it for is published by name, with which of those holdings reach it — so answering somebody who asks who their data was disclosed to is reading a page rather than reading the source. | declared |
20(2) |
This extension transmits nothing directly to another controller, and says so out loud rather than leaving it unmentioned: the destinations that exist are the published list, an export is a file the merchant receives and hands on themselves, and there is no path by which we send one controller's data to another on their behalf. | declared |
30(1)(d) |
Every destination is written down with who chose it, and a destination this extension chose itself that anything personal reaches fails the build — not by default, not behind a setting, not with a warning, because a store owner cannot consent on behalf of the people in the file. | checked, 0 — every destination anything leaves it for |
15(3) |
The screen that says what is held about one named person also hands that statement over: one button produces a file carrying every holding it just listed — what is held, why it is there and what removes it — so answering somebody who asked is sending what the screen showed rather than retyping it into an email. What the file does not carry is the values themselves, which stay in the store; 20(1) below says what that costs. Every extension ships that screen and that button byte for byte, so the file is the same file whichever extension a merchant happened to open. |
checked, 0 — every holding the file carries |
20(1) |
That file is JSON — structured, commonly used and machine-readable — rather than a screen printed to paper, so whoever asked for it can read it with something other than their eyes. What it carries is the inventory and not the contents: every holding this extension has about that person, folded out of the declaration without a table being opened, which is why two people's files differ in the address at the top and nowhere else. Portability is the right to receive the data itself, and this is not that — the values are in the merchant's own database, and what this supplies is a machine-readable statement of where each one is and what removes it. The row is declared for that reason and not machine: what the rule behind it decides is that every extension ships one export byte for byte, which says what the file is and not that the file is what this article asks for. |
declared |
30(1)(g) |
The technical and organisational measures are the security baseline's subject, published on its own page with its own rows and its own scanners, and this page links to it rather than restating any of it. What is asserted here is the seam between them: every file this extension writes is declared in both places and cross-checked both ways, so the two descriptions cannot drift apart. | declared |
KYV-D1 |
Everything this extension holds about a person can be removed on purpose, from a screen, without uninstalling it — and the screen shows what will go before it goes. Uninstalling keeps it all, because an OpenCart upgrade is an uninstall followed by an install and an extension that dropped its tables on the way out would destroy a store's data on every routine update. A holding every one of whose columns is kept for ever, with nothing anywhere able to remove any of it, fails the build. | checked, 0 — every holding the remove-everything screen reaches |
What is left over¶
No column Profitability Copilot holds is declared a frozen copy of anything the store keeps elsewhere, so this page names no second place a correction has to be made first. What each column is, and where its contents came from, is in its own row above.
Removing all of it is one button, on Profitability Copilot's own settings screen at Admin > Extensions > Extensions > Modules > Profitability Copilot. It prints what will go — every table, every file, every key, with a count beside each line and the reason beside the ones it keeps — and nothing goes until you press the second button. It cannot be undone: no soft delete, no recycle bin, no undo, because a recycle bin for personal data is personal data that is still there. Uninstalling does not do it, deliberately: an OpenCart upgrade is an uninstall followed by an install, so an extension that dropped its tables on the way out would destroy your data every time you updated it. Your settings, your configuration and whatever the extension remembers about itself are not touched.
What the law asks of you — you are the controller, and installing an extension is not a compliance process — is on the data-protection boundary, which is also where the words above are defined and where it says why there is no badge. What OpenCart's own erasure feature does underneath all of this, and the things about it worth knowing first, is on what core's own GDPR feature does.
