  Hi there,

  DPAs are contractual tools for web sites 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.

  We are able to provide data processing amendments to users of our paid plans/products on WordPress.com, Jetpack, WooCommerce.com, Akismet, or PollDaddy. If your site or has an active upgrade on one of these services, please contact us from the username that owns the upgrade for your account and explain what you need.

  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.

  For more information about the GDPR updates we’re working on, please see our blog post here:

  New Privacy Features and Updated Policies

  We’ll continue to update our support site and our privacy.blog(https://privacy.blog/) with further improvements around your privacy and data control features in 2018.

  Thank you,
