    Hello,

    this is a great plugin and I would like to use it as an entrepreneur. I working to get our website GDPR compliant. Wondering whether this plugin is currently GDPR compliant?

    The EU GDPR Data Protection Act came into force in May and I ask you in this regard:
    1. what information of my website visitors do you (your plugin) store for what reason,
    2. where, on the server’s country, are my clients’ personal data (EU, USA or …) stored,
    3. will the data be transferred to a third country, if so, which ones, and
    4. when do you delete this data?
    5. does this plugin utilize any cookies that affect the users of my site, and if so, can you send a detailed list of these?

    Thank’s your help

    Hello,

    1) My plugin does not store any information by itself. It reads comment metadata on the fly (first, last name, e-mail of the commenter), takes the primary letter, and computes a hash key color based on e-mail.
    2) My plugin does not store any data. It hooks on the gravatar check function which is native to WordPress to check if the e-mail is tied to a gravatar account.
    You can finde more info on how Automattic handles GDPR here – https://automattic.com/automattic-and-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/
    3) Data is not trasferred
    4) No data is stored, so no data needs to be deleted
    5) Plugin uses no cookies, everything is done in realtime.
