1. Privacy:
On the May 25 the European Union’s Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires companies and site owners to be transparent about how they collect, use, and share personal data. GDPR also gives individuals more access and choice when it comes to how their own personal data is collected, used, and shared.

With WordPress 4.9.6, the site owners now can designate a privacy policy page. We think it is a great update according to the age.
This page will be shown on site owner’s login and registration pages. Site owner should manually add a link to your policy to every page on his/her website. If he/she have a footer menu, that’s a great place to include site owners privacy policy. WordPress have also created a guide which includes some insights from WordPress and some participating plugins to handle the personal data and they can be copied and pasted to the sites privacy policy to help to get started.
