If you develop, design, or maintain a website then you’ve
probably heard of the GDPR privacy requirements that affect
websites globally as of May 25, 2018. In this episode of Divi
Chat, we’re discussing GDPR compliance, what it means for us and
our businesses, and hopefully help you get a better understanding
of what it is and how to implement GDPR best practices into your
Divi website.

In this episode we also discuss a few things that are confusing
when it comes to GDPR. For example, it doesn’t matter if you are
in Europe or not. If you have visitors from Europe, then you must
make sure your website is compatible.

Additionally, there’s a lot of confusion around eCommerce vs
simple static websites and whether or not these rules apply if
you’re not selling products. We also discuss this during the
episode. The compliance isn’t just for websites that sell
products though. Even if you have a simple contact form on your
website (as most websites do), then you are responsible for
adhering to the policies of GDPR.

However, eCommerce websites are even more at risk than simple
websites with a contact form. For example, Tim sells Divi
plugins and Divi Modules and therefore collects
customer’s information at checkout. Because of this, additional
steps must be taken by Tim in order to stay compliant. Through
the research of setting this up for Divi Life, Tim created a
handy tutorial for Divi users on how to make your Divi website
compliant with GDPR. We definitely recommend taking a look at
this after watching the episode

** Note that we are not lawyers and are not giving legal advice,
we’re all in the same boat navigating these new waters together
and are learning about this ourselves

not yet in effect, so there is still much confusion and vagueness
on proper handling for website managers outside the EU. Resources
