GDPR
What Is GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) law took effect on May 25, 2018. The goal of GDPR is to give EU citizens control over their personal data.
The goal of GDPR is to protect any users personally identifying information (PII) and hold businesses to a higher standard when it comes to how they collect, store, and use this data.
When running a self hosted WordPress site it is the owners responsibility to ensure it is GDPR compliant.
You should take appropriate legal advice to ensure that the site and services are GDPR compliant.
Export Personal Data & Erase Personal Data
WordPress offers site owners the ability to comply with specific GDPR data handling requirements by satisfying any user request for the provision/export of their held personal data in addition to the removal of that personal data.
These data handling features can be found within WordPress, Tools as Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data.
WordPress documents these processes within Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data.

What is stored is held within the WordPress database.
ActiveMember360 is fully integrated with the standard WordPress Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data tools to ensure any PII stored by ActiveMember360 is either provided during the export process or removed in the erase process.
