    Hello,

    this plugin is fully GDPR compliant? Does it connect to external servers that could see the IP address, email address, or anything of the user? Does it collect or store any personal data?

    I thought I should check on these to be safe.

    The EU GDPR Data Protection Act came into force in 2018 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 you

    I’m not a lawyer, but the answer is probably as resounding “yes” ??

    details responses;
    1. none
    2. if “cache thumbnail locally” is active; nowhere. if not OR if user clicks on a video, requests are sent to youtube to play the video
    3. depends on (2) and thus on youtube
    4. not applicable (except for youtube)
    5. by default only youtube cookies (see 2), except if “cache thumbnails locally” is active together with the new lyte_filter_local_thumb_doublecheck (default off) which will place a session-cookie with value “1” that will be checked when the local thumbnail is requested (to prevent hotlinking).

    enjoy the weekend ??
