This document discusses the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its implications for WordPress sites. Some key points: - GDPR strengthens and expands the data protection rights of EU individuals and applies to any company processing EU residents' personal data, regardless of location. - It introduces strict rules around consent, data breaches, and new individual rights like the "right to be forgotten." Non-compliance can result in fines of up to 20 million Euros. - WordPress core has implemented changes like comment consent checks and data export/erasure features to help sites comply. However, plugins and privacy policies may also need updates, and proper data collection, storage, and use practices should be reviewed
