Resetting UUID
Data collection
Within the Planon application, data that is collected pertains to:
• License usage (as covered in contracts);
• System events (these are technical events such as server startup or unhandled errors, such as Java exceptions);
• Anonymous interactions of users with Planon that relate only to software usage and are used as input for product improvements by Planon.
No personal (PII/PSI) data and no customer data is ever collected.
Some data that is being collected is enriched with a user UUID. A UUID is a Universally Unique Identifier, which can be used to identify information across a computer system.
The user UUID in Planon is randomly generated for a Planon user and cannot in any way be used to identify a natural person. UUIDs are used by Planon to determine the unique number of users using a particular product in a chosen time frame and are thus only used in an aggregated form.
Reset UUID
A system administrator of Planon can reset a user's UUID (the system then replaces the UUID field stored with the user with a newly generated random UUID) such that future actions of the user cannot be related to past actions of this user.
To enable resetting the UUID, you must add the Reset UUID action to the layout:
Procedure
1. Go to Layouts and add the action Reset UUID to the Users (Account) layout.
 | This is only required once. |
Once this is done and you log off / log on again, you can use the action.
2. Go to > > > step, click Reset UUID to reset the UUID.
◦ This you can do for a single user or, by using Action on selection, for a selection of users/for all users.
◦ You can manually click the action or you can automate it by creating a scheduled task for it.
