Hi!

gus.sylius.com is our internal service which responsibility is to receive notifications about new Sylius-based shop appearance.

The data that we receive is:

• Sylius version
• Hostname
• Locale
• User agent
• Environment

It allows us to notify you about new Sylius versions in Admin panel.

If you don’t want your shop to notify gus.sylius.com, feel free to remove line {{sylius_render_notifications_widget() }} from src/Sylius/Bundle/AdminBundle/Resources/views/layout.html.twig.

@pamil @bartoszpietrzak1994 is the code open source ?

[stefandoorn]

Is this code also being fired from dev environments? As they are often local, the sender host's IP is potential PII data (if you consider IP data, PII data). For me no issue, but it might be an issue for others. IP + User Agent + Locale + Hostname is starting to become an interesting combination if used in a certain way.

It sounds like a bug if it's blocking. Also, it's not good for your reputation to have something like this users have to opt-out from and without a big red warning sign.

[teohhanhui]

Is it GDPR compliant? Lol... I don't think the user could have given consent.

[stefandoorn]

P.S. I would say it should run in an async way, bringing the host down seems to make many admin's unusable?

[pamil]

@stefandoorn we do not store or process IP addresses. User agent and locale data are sent in order to provide the best experience in Sylius backend (supported browsers and need for translations), hostname, version and environment are sent purely for the statistical reasons (mostly answering only one question: how many production Sylius stores are out there?).

I'd agree with @teohhanhui that opting-out is a very needed feature, which I'll make sure that it exists as soon as possible.

As for performance reasons, making it optional and making the request asynchronously should help.

[pamil]

Btw. just recalled that we actually have an opt-out configuration option:

sylius_admin:
    notifications:
        enabled: false

I'll make an issue to make it more visible in documentation and installation procedure.

Thank's @pamil by set that's config, admin panel run in normal
