Policies

Administration tool ::: tool_policy
Maintained by Moodle HQ, Sara Arjona Téllez
Part of set GDPR.
Allows to define various policy documents - site policy, privacy policy, intellectual property policy, late assignments policy and others as needed. It keeps the history of document revisions, tracks user agreements with them and forces users to accept them prior to using the site.
Latest release:
16 sites
23 downloads
39 fans
Current versions available: 2
Supported versions: The plugin requires Moodle 3.3.5, 3.3.6, 3.3.7, 3.4.2, 3.4.3 or 3.4.4. It does not work in earlier versions. It has been merged to standard Moodle distribution starting from versions 3.3.8, 3.4.5 and 3.5.0.

The Policy plugin forms part of Moodle’s privacy feature set and will assist sites to become GDPR compliant.

This plugin provides a new user sign on process, with ability to define multiple policies (site, privacy, third party), track user consents, and manage updates and versioning of the policies.

This plugin has been integrated in the Moodle 3.5 release of 17 May 2018 but remains available and maintained for Moodle 3.3.6 and 3.4.3 as a separately downloadable plugin.

    Hello everyone!

    I´m from Brazil and I'm developing a site based on moodle. I´ve installed the plugin and it is functioning perfectly. But the problem is that the the message is English: "If you continue browsing this website...." and I need it to be in portuguese. I have already tried to change this exactly phrase in the tool_policy.php, restarted the server, but it is still in English. How can I change sucha a string? Tks in advance!

    Hi Rodrigo!

    I've seen that the tool_policy plugin is translated for "Portuguese (pt)" but not for "Portuguese (Brazil) (pt_br)". You can contribute the "Portuguese (Brazil)" language pack following the recommendations on the following page: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Contributing_a_translation Once your contribution will be confirmed by the people in charge of this language pack, you should update the language pack on your Moodle site and then you should be able to see the message in the Portuguese (Brazil) smile

    Kind regards!

    Hi,

    Is there a way to make a policy not required?

    Kind regards!

    Hi,
    I've Moodle 3.4.7, and I've installed the plug-in; I provide access via the Moodle app v. 3.4. If I access to students' profile via browser, I can see all the information about the privacy policies; however, if I access via the moodle app, I do not find any information about the privacy policy in the profile page. Have you experienced this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Giovanni

    Hi Giovanni!
    The tool_policy was merged to Moodle 3.4.5 onwards, so you don't need to install it separately.
    Regarding your question, for now, it's not possible to access from the app to the 'Privacy and policies' profile information sad I would suggest creating an issue to raise this improvement. You'll find the steps to follow here: https://docs.moodle.org/36/en/Moodle_app_FAQ#I_think_I_found_a_bug_with_the_app._Where_can_I_report_it.3F
    Cheers!

    I selected Policies (tool_policy) as indicated, however; the two new pages that are supposed to appear never do. Am I missing a step?

    The policies tool is standard in Moodle 3.8. Please see the documentation Policies, then if you have any further questions feel free to post in the General help forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=50.
