GDPR Compliance

@hatschiii – The unfortunate thing about that law is there is no such thing as making a WP plugin GDPR compliant on its own outside of the data deletion requirements. The only way that works is if there were an automated system built into WP core or another plugin that could make a list of what every plugin did (which we would provide in our plugins code), then spit that list into a terms box for the user to agree to.

Currently the only solution is to do it yourself manually and list out what your asking for, how your using it etc.

That said we have a guide coming on what you need to list for Popup Maker usage, but we can’t be “compliant” as there is no mechanism for that.

Lastly in terms of our plugin being compliant with user data storage and deletion, we don’t store user data so check. They will have cookies set in their own browser, but they can clear those anytime easily and it is not stored on your site so no need for changes.

To be clear if we built our own mechanism to display noticesand then you used WooCommerce which would also built its own etc, you would have multiple agreements all competing to show up if that makes since. This is a core issue and can’t be addressed by plugin developers until such a mechanism exists. One is coming (I think).

Will leave you with some links and reference:

Quote from WooCommerce blog on the subject:

It’s also up to you as the site owner to communicate how your customers’ information is being used — it’s more of a communication and process question, rather than something that can be solved with technology.
