Complying with the new privacy law

    I saw this from WordPress: ‘Additional contracts (Data Processing Agreements) for paid users who require them to comply with data protection and privacy laws. If you need a Data Processing Agreement, let us know by contacting support for your product.’ When do free plans get one of these? I understand that every site that has a sign-up for followers or newsletters needs one. So, I’d like one.

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

    Hi deadcowflatsgmailcom,

    Data Processing Agreements (DPA) are contractual tools for websites and companies to make commitments to their customers, vendors, and partners that their data handling complies with the law. It is not relevant or needed for the typical free site owner or hobbyists.

    Having a DPA does not change any of our practices regarding your site or your visitors. Everyone on WordPress.com gets the same high standards of privacy and security.

    You might also find this DPA information useful:

    I hope this helps.
