Biggest opportunity: Add “data privacy”, “personal” and “data export” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #7 and #8 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

Install conversion
How it's measured →6.0%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 83.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 501 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Add “data privacy”, “personal” and “data export” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #7 and #8 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

I use it on all my GDPR pages so that visitors can query the database and have their respective data removed, if they wish, without me having to do anything. Brilliant and essential!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Loïc Antignac5.2y ago
An essential extension for those who want to comply with the GDPR. Not having this functionality in the Core is nonsense.

This is the one GDPR plugin that works especially well with Gravity Forms by respecting the Personal Data privacy field selector. Thank you, thank you!

Bravo, je viens de l’installer et de la tester, le système est très simple, la communication par email fonctionne parfaitement et on récupère vraiment tout ce qui concerne les contributions forum du site pour l’utilisateur. Un seul bémol je trouve, voir si corrigeable, pour l’instant je ne mettrai pas en ligne à cause de ce petit défaut mais majeur à mon avis. quand on demande l’envoi des informations, on reçoit bien un mail : Dans ce mail, le lien qui est indiqué affiche clairement le chemin d’accès vers l’ADMINISTRATION, hors celle-ci est cachée ou renommée afin de ne pas faciliter la tache aux pirates and co. Il faudrait que le chemin n’utilise PAS le lien admin Une demande a été faite afin d’effectuer les actions suivantes sur votre compte : Exporter les données Pour confirmer cela, veuillez cliquer sur le lien suivant : http://mon_site_web/mon_chemin_changé_admin?action=confirmaction&request_id=34022&confirm_key=qsYE1jxPorLPzl6CHdO0 Si vous ne souhaitez pas effectuer cette action, vous pouvez ignorer et supprimer cet e-mail en tout sécurité.
