The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) comes into effect on May 25th.
Unless you actively block all European country IP addresses from your online business then it’s highly likely you will need to comply with the regulation or face potential fines.
We will look at what GDPR covers and what steps you need to take to start your compliance journey with respect to your WordPress business and website.
This is not legal advice. Please consult your legal representative to update your own contracts, policies and terms.
