  I don’t see an option to update my site for 4.9.6 or any of the new Privacy features for GDPR. How will the features available to bring my WordPress blog into compliance be available?

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

  WordPress.com websites don ‘t need those WordPress.org updates. You’ll find information about GDPR at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/about-the-gdpr/

  Hi there,

  The privacy tools released in the latest open source WordPress update are not compatible with the types of data we collect on WordPress.com and the way we collect them, so those tools have not been added to WordPress.com.

  We will be making our own tools available to help site owners comply with requests to provide or remove visitor data from your site. Please see the links in the sticky post referenced above for more information.
