@Tony - yes we have disclosures for every payment provider, mailchimp, analytics, and so on. It's not that I want that and think it's really necessary, it's simply EU law. Just like driving through red when nobody is there, not sharing these things is simply illegal, nothing philosophical about it.

@Flow. Ouch, that's a lot of work for disclaimers.
Suggest you submit to bugtracker that cs-cart needs to provide that disclaimer per EU law.
@demeldoo - suggest you too submit to bugtracker though there is no requirement to utilize secure channels for transmitting any data. I'm not aware of any law that requires it. Policy, yes, but not laws.

Got to agree that this is a major issue as far as EU privacy law goes. There needs to be an explanation of exactly how the process works so it can be included in the privacy pages.
Also I'd like to see KB article made on how to make the process local as well if possible.

Suggest you either generate a helpdesk ticket or send an email to sales AT cs-cart.com. Please update this thread with the response you get.
As discussed above, it is not difficult to create an addon that would do local PDF processing. You have to identify the PDF library you want to use, install it and then intercept the request(s) via pre controllers to process locally.

Would anyone be interested in purchasing an addon that handles PDF rendering?

There is already a bug tracker request for it which I'm following.
It might not be difficult but there should be a KB article at the very least explaining how to do it as it's such a fundamental flaw in the product which could lead to a lot of legal trouble for a store owner.
Natewallis, I don't see why people should have to pay for an addon to resolve an issue such as this.

I was thinking about developing one for myself if CS-CART don't come to the party with a solution and was thinking about re-selling it.

A bit of history....
PDF used to be generated by a library used locally and from a 3rd party. There were many bugs and once people went to PHP 5.4, much of that library generated so many errors/warnings/notices that one's error_log file was simply filled with errors related to fonts and deprecated features. I.e. the 3rd party didn't maintain the software.
So in V4, cs-cart chose to provide PDF generation as a software service. I don't speak for them so can't address any regional business considerations they may have used in their decision.
But from an operational standpoint, other than maybe once when cartservices.com was down, there have been literally zero issues with generating PDF's. Unfortunately they introduced a bug that compromised some privacy issues and seem to have been very quick to correct it.
it does surprise me that cs-cart always lays silent on these things and then wonders why people get all spun up when a response from them addressing concerns might just cool things down.
I don't work for cs-cart and have simply tried to provide information about history and current implementation. I'm not a lawyer nor a pollicy maker (outside my own domain). So please don't shoot the messenger!
The KB would not provide guidance for how to build the addon. It's not what the KB is for and the product is designed to use the service. So it is in fact "working as designed".

anyone posted this to bugtracker?
pdf generation should be secure and invisible 
or somekind of notification has to be added to terms

Is cs-cart still using a 3rd party PDF generatort? If so there needs to come a local option asap.

Completely agree, I just stumbled upon this thread today,
Is it compliant with EU, AU and US law, and is it now https?

This is why I got disabled invoices in front end and do not do pdf's on site. I simply get html and internet explorer prints pdf option to file that I submit to customer as order attachment..

And you have automated this somehow?

Nope, not processing more then 5 orders a day.
But its better then invoices floating somewhere among hundred thousands cs-cart stores.
It is information, I would not wonder if one day we will find out all of our sale data will be on some remove Russian server..
Also cs-cart users may get in to big problems and fines for cc orders for store not being PCI compliant.
