  Hi!
  I have some doubt about the ‘follow my blog via email’. There is no checkbox, where someone can agree the privacy terms, before giving his/her e-mail address. And in the confirmation e-mail which you send, there is no link to your privacy policy page neither.
  So I don’t know… Is it OK with the GDPR laws? Can I use this follow function in my blog?
  Thank you very much!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there –

  We aren’t able to offer any legal advice surrounded the GDPR. You’ll need to hire private counsel for that.

  Here’s our published information about GDPR which should help.

  Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to ask for any “legal advice” for myself. My question was only that your system, especially the “follow via email” function complies with the GDPR law, or not?
