   I use Jetpack plugin for my contact form and stats (among others) How to make their contact form compliant?
   Thanks

   One thing that people don’t seem to be discussing is the comment section. Right here, in this very form, you just asked me for my email address, as does every standard WP comment form. But nowhere are you telling me what this email address will be used for. You aren’t using it for follow up because I’m not going to subscribe to that option.

   The default WP comment behaviour is just to ask for people’s email address but with no particular purpose, which also goes against GDPR, right? You have to have a purpose to ask for someone’s data now.

   This seems so obvious that I wonder what I’m missing. They clearly thought about comments and added that new cookie comment check-box, so why is nothing mentioned about the email address collection in the first place?

Now I know I should update my website and must follow this compliance. Thank you for sharing this information.

   What a succinct and we’ll informative article. This article has quite enlightenment effect on understanding what GDPR is. Until now I never knew that this law is just going to be taking its effect from 25th of May and there has been a lot buzzes and news of it here and there for a long time now. Thank you for the wonderful post.

   I run a cybersecurity news website and I have never collected anything from any visitor other than email for sending readers notifications about new news articles.

   Do I have to go through all this headache as well? Also, do we have to show GDPR compliance popup to visitors like we do with cookie consent popup?

   Thanks for the great article.

    Hey!
    How would I know – or – what can I do on my WordPress site to make sure there are no cookies being used so I don’t have to have the cookie warning or any other policy (GDPR etc) to worry about?
    (I just have a few „how-to” guides on there, nothing else – no comments etc or any contact boxes etc).
    * Thank you for taking the time to create this GDPR post – greatly appreciated!

    Other sources say that GDPR applies only to people/company in the EU, NOT to EU citizens who happen to be in the US.

    We have enabled country blocking so our site is simply not available anywhere but the US and Canada.

    Is it your (non-legal) opinion that we therefore do not need to comply?

    This is a very helpful article. I’d previously addressed all of these issues in the fashion you recommend, but there is one thing I cannot find an answer to despite searching and posting in multiple places:

    What about WP blog subscriptions? Nothing in the WP or JetPack updates that I can find provides that check box of consent for blog subscribers. Don’t those email and WP subscriptions require consent too?

    This is a good resources as well,
    https://www.compliancejunction.com/gdpr-for-small-business/
    Quoting below –
    What effect could the GDPR have on small businesses?
    For the purposes of the GDPR, a small business is classified as one with fewer than 250 employees. Any business with more than 250 employees is required to comply with the GDPR and is required to nominate a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

    Businesses with fewer than 250 employees are required to comply with the GDPR if their data processing could affect the rights and freedoms of individuals, if they process personal data on a regular basis, or if they process data which is covered by Article 9 of the GDPR, which includes sensitive data such as that relating to religious beliefs. If any of these apply to a small business, it needs to ensure that it complies with all aspects of the GDPR.

18. Dan

    You are omitting the part of GDPR that gives exemptions to companies with less than 200 employees. At least I didn’t see any mention of it.

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      I believe that part is specific to requiring a Data Protection Officer. However I do agree that risk of penalty is lower for smaller businesses, but it doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t do their best to comply.

    WordPress 4.9.6 is not GDPR-compliant, not at all, sorry. Core-content in backend available to all user roles including subscriber is hosted on third party servers without information and/or consent. User IPs are stored in database without notice, just look for session_token. User IPs are stored for comments. User email is used in filename for GDPR data export. Exported meta fields from user profile are hardcoded, export will be incomplete in most cases. And there are a lot of of bugs like privacy policy page can not be edited by editors, your clients need full admin access to edit that page now, good luck with that.

21. Dawson Johnson

    Amazing article, thanks so much.

    A few questions:

    — With regard to MonsterInsights, is the „anonymize IP” feature in the free version sufficient for GDPR compliance with regard to Google Analytics? Or is there critical functionality associated with the paid version (and EU Compliance Addon)?

    — I’m a bit concerned about third-party ads (via networks like Taboola, RevContent, etc). What exactly is and isn’t required of publishers given that we in no way control or process the data that they collect / cookies they store?

    — With regard to Cookie Plugins, are there any that A) actually block third-party cookies on your site based on a lack of consent or opt-out and B) can be geotargeted to EU users?

    I’m a US based publisher, so I don’t want to show opt-out messages (and risk losing track / ad dollars) to visitors who are outside Europe.

    Odpowiedz

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Dawson,

      Please see MonsterInsights’ blog post for more details.

      You will need to reach out to each network, and most likely they will already have documentation on how to prepare for GDPR compliance.

      As for cookie plugins, surely there will be more plugins coming out to address different requirements.

    Hi,

    Not identifying people that post on your blog can be dangerous for many sites. If someone threatens to sue you and you have insurance, I think you need to inform about it and be able to identify the person so that you can protect yourself against legal claims. As a result, you can’t ask for consent because if you do, the person have to right to be forgotten. So, I am using legitimate interest. By the way, I think the privacy policy offers by WordPress is missing some GDRP requirements such as the identification of the legal basis for each processing.

    Hello, thanks for all these information but I do have one last question. My blog is personal, which means I do not give analytics or data to no-one, or I don’t have advertises.

    Do I still have the obligation to obey to the new regulations?

    Thanks in advance

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Hi Eleni,

      According to the regulation, yes if you have a website (personal or business or anything else) you would still have to comply. You can wait and see how they enforce it on small personal blogs since there is no precedent of that yet, but if all you have to do is anonymize IP addresses on your analytics, then it’s not that big of a deal

        • Editorial Staff

          That plugin only offers you the ability to add scripts. It does not have functionality like anonymizing IPs because that’s specific to individual scripts that you might be loading.

28. Andrei

    Hi guys,

    First of all thank you for this great article.

    I have a question regarding the export personal data tool.
    If my understanding is correct, a user can access his personal data by contacting the admin and waiting for an email response. I may be wrong, but it’s not a very user-friendly approach. And it also puts a big load on the admin if working with a big user database.

    Is there a way to make this process automatically? Maybe a plugin that automatically exports & downloads the user, instead of having the admin do it manually?

    Cheers,
    Andrei

    Thank you for your informative article which I will read more thoroughly. However, I am obliged at this point to mention an issue which has caught my eye. You make mention of 'EU citizens’ and 'EU resident’ which are incorrect terms. No one can be legally resident in the EU as such, but only in their respective countries. The EU is not a country, but a bureaucracy which is basically an economic entity that enables free trade among its separate member states and has its own regulations to which member states are subject. The countries of Europe are situated in a landmass geographically, but each have their own identity and culture. Therefore it would be more accurate to refer to the GDPR in terms of relevance to member countries.

      Hi Peter,

      I am glad you found the article helpful. My goal with this article is to break down things to it’s simplest level. While the distinction exists on local levels, from the sake of this article any long-term resident of an EU member nation is considered an EU resident.

      The law is being passed by EU as a whole with signatures from each member nation.

      Hi Che,

      You can most definitely use the default WordPress privacy policy through the generator in 4.9.6. Just make sure you add everything that you’re collecting because there’s no such thing as one-size fits all.

    I am still confused. My website has a Add To Cart button but the shopping cart is at PayPal, not on my computer, they advise me when I have an order by email so I can ship to the name and address given the item ordered. I have not heard boo from PayPal about these regulations. I don’t store anything other than the name of the buyer and the ship-to address given to me.
    If people sign up for my wordpress.com blog to „follow”, all I have is their email address and actually am personally never in touch with them. So what do I need to do?

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Hey there,

      You would need to update your privacy policy and add what information you store. Add a cookies notice on your blog if you’re adding cookies on the user’s browser and that’s about it.

    According to this (very helpful!) article, WP 4.9.6 now has Comments Consent by default. I’m always running the latest version (and I do have the new Privacy setting) but I don’t see this showing on my Comment forms, nor do I see a way to turn it on. I am running a „subscribe” plugin (Subscribe to Comments Reloaded) and this is all I see. Could this be blocking it? Otherwise, how do I activate this feature?

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Hi Mark,

      WordPress 4.9.6. added the comment consent box by default. Are you logged out when you’re checking this?

      Odpowiedz

      Administrator

      • Mark Corder

        Yes – I’ve logged-out, cleared both the WP cache and the browser’s, forced refreshes, tried different browsers … everything I can think of. I installed a clean version of WP 4.9.6 on a test server with NO plugins, and I can see it there – but not on any of the live sites I manage.

        I’m still trying things … If I discover the problem, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, anyone have any ideas?

        Odpowiedz

      • Mark Corder

        OK, after a lot of reading and digging through the WP files, this seems to be a problem with some themes. As of WP 4.9.6, a „$cookies_consent” parameter was added, and while virtually all themes will have their own Comments Forms, many of them will not make use of this parameter – hence the fact that it doesn’t show up. For more information on what’s happening here (and needs to happen), see this article at WordPress.org : https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/05/17/changes-that-affect-theme-authors-in-wordpress-4-9-6/ .

        While this explains the problem and offers a way to fix it, I’m afraid this level of hacking to include a new parameter in the array may be beyond the average person that WPBeginner is focused on… So what to do?

        * Contact your theme’s author and ask if they plan to update their theme to include this parameter … and best of luck to you.

        * Switch to a theme that’s GDPR compliant and will show this checkbox option on the Comments Form. (The „bundled” WP themes like Twenty Seventeen and such have all been updated to show it.)

        I predict that in the future you’re going to get a lot of questions about this very issue – you may even want to write a dedicated article about it!

        And while I’m waiting to hear back from a couple of theme developers, I plan to roll up my sleeves and try adding this parameter myself. (Said the fearless code-hacker – who uses child-themes and backs everything up first!)

        I hope this helps explain why this feature is probably not showing up for lots of others … and keep up the great work, folks!

    And what do we do about Wordpress.com blogs? I wrote a privacy policy and I enabled the cookies notice, even though it does not go away when you click accept and close.

    You also forgot Article 21. If your website is accessible and collects data from EU citizens, but you are not located in the EU, you are required to have a representative that IS located in the EU in case a local supervising authority needs to get hold of you. This is mandatory.

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Hi Laura,

      Data protection officer is not mandatory. You can review the infographic that we linked to in additional resources section of this article which is by the European Union themselves.

      This is what it says in regards to a Data Protection Officer:

      „This is not always obligatory. It depends on the type and amount of data you collect, whether processing is your main business and if you do it on a large scale.”

      I’m certain more services will come out and offer representative services at scale for affordable prices.

    „around the world (not just in the European Union).”

    Please, I’d like to know the source of this information. EU laws do not, and can not apply to US citizens. As I understand, GDPR will only apply to multi national corporations, i.e. ones that have some business unit(s) registered in the EU. Please cite the US statute that states GDPR regulations apply to US citizens operating a business out of the USA. I’ve not been able to find one, and no one has been able to point me to one as of yet. I think all this fear mongering is just plain wrong. EU regulations apply in the EU and US regulations apply in the US. The US has its own privacy related laws. Please advise?

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Hi Mike,

      By doing business online and making your website available to the entire world, you expose yourself to the jurisdiction of each state and country. It is a quite common argument that EU laws like GDPR does not apply here in US. That’s actually not true. We just haven’t seen them strictly enforced on companies outside of EU (or large multi-national corporation). This does not mean that it can’t happen.

      A foreign government or entity can bring a legal case against you (for any reason), win in their respective jurisdiction and file for a motion in your local jurisdiction for a judgement claim. As you can imagine, the cost of doing this is very high, and this is why it doesn’t happen often.

      However saying it can’t happen would be a mistake.

      Again I’m no lawyer, and as I stated in the article above, people won’t get fined right away. You’ll get a warning first, then reprimand, and then fine. A lot of fear mongering is being done around fines right now, and I wanted to clarify that here in this article.

        Since you’re not a lawyer, maybe it’s best not to give this kind of advice. There is a lot of misinformation in your comment and is the kind of info that causes widespread unnecessary panic.

        Odpowiedz

      • Barbara Holtzman

        As the „EU” launched two massive lawsuits against Alphabet (Google and Android) and Facebook as soon as the law went into effect, it’s pretty clear this law was and is a thinly veiled ruse to „get” those two companies.

        As a one to sometimes three-person shop, with a company that rarely grosses over $1k (although I’m hoping to crank it up to $10k over time), the EU can have a fun go at me for the couple bucks in fines they might get.

        More likely I’ll just block all non-US IP addresses [Israel can stay too, the EU will never let them in], and refuse to communicate or do any business with anyone in the EU. Since most of the research I do is US based anyway, and academic research at that, most likely no one will care.

        I’ve always had a double-opt-in, don’t share any info with anyone policy, and my data is double anonymized with a proprietary algorithm. I don’t mind adding all the cookie and privacy warnings and such, so I’m probably in compliance anyway. But I don’t like the EU telling the rest of the world what it can and can’t do by fiat.

        I hope Google and Facebook pull out of the EU along with me. Watching that and the fallout afterward will really be a hoot.

    That’s a concise guide. Jetpack offers the cookie banner with a cookie policy. Today there was a pop up on the dashboard announcing help with the WP Privacy Policy–helping to populate the Privacy Policy subheadings.

    My question is: why would one need a GDPR plug in when WP’s tools are available?

    Also, how does the export/erase data work? From where do website visitors request that info?

    Thanks Syed

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Not everyone will need third-party GDPR plugins. It will depend on the type of site you have and your needs. If you’re using Google Analytics, then you would need the MonsterInsights EU compliance addon that either anonymizes IP address or integrates with a cookie notices plugin.

      Adding an email in your privacy policy that a visitor can use to email you to request data export / erasure would work sufficiently. Alternatively, you can use a form plugin like WPForms to create a form on your site for that.

    Hi!

    Sorry but WordPress isn’t GDPR compliant because it lacks of the first layer of information that must be agreed by the user. Las version of WordPress only doesn’t save the cookie but doesn’t have a place where to inform to the user that his name, IP, email, etc are going to be saved to the database, and doesn’t have the (not checked) checkbox to agree to this personal data storing.

    Curiously, WooCommerce’s next version will include this type of feature in the new Privacy & Accounts tab.

    Hugs!

    Odpowiedz

    • Editorial Staff

      Let’s see if WordPress adds that. I am not a lawyer, but in my opinion this can be addressed in the privacy policy. When the user submits the comment, they understand this information is being stored. However if you want to use their information for something other than just displaying comment (i.e sending a comment notification, email newsletters, etc) then you have to get additional consent.

      I also expect a lot more plugins to come out to solve GDPR related issues

      Depending on who you ask, you will get differing opinions. Some will say because the referral cookies don’t get added on your site, you don’t have to do anything regarding affiliate links (it’s the merchant’s responsibility).

      Others will recommend to use a cookie notice on your site and add Affiliate Links section in your privacy policy.

        I’ve been trying to find someone’s privacy policy where they mention affiliate links from Amazon and others like Skimlinks but haven’t been successful yet. Do you know of one that I can „borrow”?

          Not yet, but we will be updating our privacy policy to add that in the coming days.

        That actually makes sense – cookie disclaimer and affiliate notice. I use an affiliate notice in the base footer of my site and a cookie consent.

        As long as we are transparent with all that we do there can be no comebacks – theoretically!!!

    Nicely done. I’ll be sending my clients to read this instead of re-inventing the wheel and writing my own version.

    Thanks for the article, great points! I honestly feel ready, but still feel like after a few days I’ll find out some stuff that will be totaly new for me.
    https://www.omnisend.com/blog/gdpr-hub/the-3-foundations-of-the-gdpr/ for example here they say that you even need consent to see and save their IP information and such, and so much more. So I mean they disagree with cookie policy? Too bad then, can’t follow ’em anymore. Tough luck really.

      Yes you do need their consent to store IP information. That’s why in our guide we recommend that you anonymize IP for Google Analytics and use Cookie Notice or similar solution to get permission.
