Hash pollip_host and/or username

  • Hey,

    Would it maybe be possible to implement that your plugin will also hash the pollip_host in the database? This would make it fully compliant with GDPR (if the correct consent is requested when using cookies and with a proper privacy policy in place of course)

    It would be completely 5 star awesome if usernames in the db could also be anonymized per setting (with a simple checkbox for example) ??

    If it was possible to filter the read/write request and/or functions your plugin makes I would have implemented it, but considering it’s not possible it would mean I would have to edit your code and that would obviously require me to keep updating/changing it every time you update it.

    And that of course can introduce the risk of ‘falling behind’ and obviously creates another ‘layer of risk’ in regards to possible bugs creeping in (from my side) ??

    On second thought: Might it even be possible to disable storing the IP (also the hash indeed) as well as the pollip_host completly?

    I’ve just done some tests, and it works perfectly fine when only the Username is used for voting. Plus it helps greatly with keeping the database smaller in size for those where it matters ??

    I’ve already notice someone else also requesting about the fact if purging the tables (from IP and host) would be possible due to it’s size. So the ability to turn these two off from storing in the database altogether would be a great addition ??
