Delete all data when uninstalling (GDPR)

  • Hello!

    Because of the new EU law (GDPR) we have to delete the plugin and all tracking data. How can I ensure all data is cleared form the database?

    Best regards,

    Hi, I’m planning of releasing a version for the plugin to be GDPR compliant. All that would need to be changed is IP address anonymization.

    However if you would like to delete all tracking data, it enough that you delete all WP Power Stats tables from the database after uninstalling the plugin: that is all tables containing *_power_stats_* in the name. Should be 7 tables.

    Hi @artifex404,

    thanks for your Feedback!

    Yes, you are right, IP address anonymization would be great and a solution without cookies would be perfectly. The GDPR says the users have to opt in before any cookie tracking may happen. I think no user will opt in then, so an other way has to be found.

    Keep up the great work!

    Talked with a lawyer and session cookies seem to be GDPR compliant if they do not contain personal data. So in that sense I believe there will be no changes.
