Privacy policy writing

  • In my website i do not have any forms that i collect info. All is collected automatic stuff like cookies, ip adress in server logs correct? these are not personal info correct? what do you say about these in your privacy policy? these are collected for siet traffic tracking and functionality? especially IPs i ask about. I mean what are they used for. I dont do anything with any data. I am fine if nothgin was collected. But some things must be collected?

  • Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question. The answer depends heavily on which legislation you and your website are subject to. It also has little to do with WordPress. I would recommend that you consult a lawyer on the subject – or at least seek legal advice in your region of the world.

    My region doesn’t matter as I am trying to comply with GDPR. Since wordpress sites are somewhat of the same type I wanted to ask some insights.

    WordPress introduced tools to assist with GDPR compliance in 4.9.6, but it is up to you as the site owner to take the steps required to be compliant with the GDPR and any local variations that may be introduced.

    There are some plugins which may help, but I encourage you to read https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/gdpr-your-plugins-and-themes/ first.

    In general, we are not lawyers here, so we are not equipped to answer specific questions about GDPR requirements beyond just directing you to the documentation at https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/wordpress-privacy/
