We updated our system today with several privacy-related improvements. We’re working to make Kitely compliant with the upcoming\u00a0General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/strong>. This is a wide-ranging privacy law enacted by the European Union. Many of the changes we’re making are behind the scenes, but some are user-visible, and one of these changes is included in today’s update.<\/p>\n

Email Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

We now provide you with more control over which emails we send you. The\u00a0Settings page<\/a> now contains an “Email Settings” section where you can opt in or out of all types of emails.<\/p>\n

If you have a Kitely Market store then the Settings page will also show you Store-related email settings. These settings were moved here from the Store page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will implement other GDPR-related changes in future releases.<\/p>\n

Removed Support for\u00a0Facebook Friends, Twitter Followers, and Twitter Lists<\/strong><\/p>\n

For users who created their Kitely account using Facebook or Twitter, we used to provide the ability to restrict access to their worlds to users who are their Facebook Friends; Twitter Followers; or in one of their Twitter Lists. This feature has now been removed. It was very rarely used, and it has become difficult to enable due to Facebook’s and Twitter’s recent privacy-related changes.<\/p>\n

You can still restrict access to your Kitely world by selecting OpenSim groups\u00a0whose members will be allowed to enter the world. To do so, go to the\u00a0Access tab in the world’s Manage World dialog.<\/p>\n

Other Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve made it easier for Kitely Market merchants to redeliver a product to many customers.\u00a0 When merchants update a product, they sometimes want to redeliver it to all of the customers who had previously purchased the product. But these deliveries can fail if the destination grid is down. We show an error message when that happens, but until now that message didn’t specify which customer failed to receive the item. This is a problem when delivering to many users at once. We’ve now improved this error message to show which item and customer failed to receive the redelivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
