GDPR for WordPress Developers: Announcing the (Free) Anonymization Addon

Like me you are probably getting ten emails a day from companies announcing changes to their privacy policy or asking you to re-confirm your email address for marketing purposes. This is all down to GDPR, the new European Union data protection regulation which, although annoying people in the short-term, will have a positive effect on individual online privacy in the long-term. I don’t want to go into the legal weeds about the regulation, but rather give you some key information and resources to help understand it and highlight a specific area where we can help with compliance (spoiler alert – I’m not a lawyer).
What Is It?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new EU law about data protection and privacy of people within the European Union. Therefore if your business is based in the United States (or elsewhere) but has EU customers, it could affect you.
The regulation introduces rules that apply to the personal data of customers you collect, store and use within your business (including websites, apps and other software). It aims to protect the digital rights of EU citizens by giving them the ability to see what companies know about them (right of access)
