Job Ticketing sends MD5 hashes of usersā email addresses (but not the email addresses themselves) to gravatar.com to obtain and display profile pictures. Depending on the jurisdiction, submitting data to third-party websites might be a concern from a data protection point of view.
The Gravatar feature can be turned on and off as required:
- Stop the Job Ticketing service.
- Open the following file in a text editor:
<install-path>/job-ticketing/config/application.properties - Update the following line (or add it, if it doesnāt exist yet):
disable-gravatar=<true or false>- To disable the use of Gravatar, set
to true. - To enabled the use of Gravatar, set
to false. - If the disable-gravatar property is not set at all, the use of Gravatar is enabled by default.
- To disable the use of Gravatar, set
- Save the file.
- Restart the Job Ticketing service.
