GDPR

What is it

The GDPR, among other things, requires companies and site owners to be transparent about how they collect, use and share personal data. It also gives individuals more access and more choice when it comes to how their own personal data is collected, used, and shared.

It’s important to understand that while the GDPR is an EU law, its requirements apply to all sites and online businesses who collect, store, and process personal data about residents of the EU.

You can read the full text of the law here. We also found this resources helpful in understanding the principles and specific requirements of the law:

Shared Principles

User privacy is critically important to us at Web House Team. Our privacy principles align with many of the GDPR principles, and we built our products and services with those principles in mind.

For example:

  • Data minimalism. When you sign up, we ask only for limited information needed to set up your account. We require an email address and a username, nothing more. If you purchase a paid plan, we’ll need additional information to process your payment. You are welcome to add other information to your public profile and account settings, but we don’t require you to give us any other personal information to get your account up and running.
  • Control of Your Content. We aim to give you as much control as possible over who can see your content. The Privacy Settings give you choices to make your site public, private, or hidden from search engines. And Page Visibility gives you options about who can see specific pages on your site.
  • Strict Guidelines on Providing User Information to Governments. We understand that safeguarding our users’ private information is a vital aspect of the trust our users place in our services to keep them safe, and in some cases, anonymous. Our Legal Guidelines describe when we will disclose user information in response to requests from law enforcement or from complainants in civil litigation.
  • Your Security is Our Priority. While no online service can ever be 100% secure, we work very hard to protect your information from unauthorized access. We support and promote encryption of user data and we encrypt all traffic (serve over SSL) for all Web House Team sites, by default.
  • WordPress Sites are Portable. Your site is yours and your content belongs to you.
