GDPR Data Request Form WordPress Plugin 🔐

About 🔎

The purpose of this repository is to develop a WordPress Plugin to handle Privacy Data Request front-end Forms.

Note that this is also related to a WordPress Core Feature Request. It has it’s own repository on GitHub.

Context ⏳

See WordPress Core Privacy Team roadmap:

Front End User Initiated Requests (Feature Plugin)

In 4.9.6, the ability for an administrator to initiate a data export or data erasure for a user by email address was added. While this provided sites with the tools to be compliant with new laws and regulations, site owners are still left to find a way to accommodate those requests. Adding a way for users to initiate this request on their own would prove a more “out of the box” experience and decrease the burden on site administrators to initiate these requests themselves.
