Global Privacy Control settings

Various forms throughout Blackbaud Education management track the presence of a Global Privacy Control (GPC) setting in the user’s browser; GPC is akin to but separate from, the Do Not Track setting found in the settings of browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, communicating that the user does not want their information shared with third parties.

If a user has enabled the GPC in their browser, the information appears as either GPC Enabled: Enabled or Global Privacy Control: True, on the form's details page.

Forms that track the presence of the Global Privacy Control include:

  • Store form

  • Giving form

  • School website event registration form

  • Enrollment management event registration form

  • Enrollment management admissions application form

Some forms may not show the GPC setting if the setting is not enabled in the user’s browser.
