How does GDPR affect your website?

Greater Keene Area Web Geeks Presents GDPR with Dan York.
On May 25, 2018, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect with the intent of strengthening privacy protection for an individual's data - for all people within the EU. It provides strict controls on what kind of "personal data" can be collected and how that data can be handled. And the GDPR also can impose substantial fines for companies that do not comply with the GDPR. But wait, you say, you don't do any business with Europeans? Maybe you don't ... but if you have visitors to your website from the EU, you need to understand what you need to do to be in compliance with the GDPR.
Do you have forms where people can enter their email address? For instance, to subscribe to a newsletter? Do you use website analytics? If so, you need to understand your responsibilities.
In this discussion, Dan York (who is NOT a lawyer) will talk about some of what he has learned in the process of preparing his organization's web sites for the GDPR. He will also highlight the work of the WordPress community to help site owners comply with the GDPR, including some new tools to be released this month in WordPress version 4.9.6. He will also welcome others contributing their experience.
Bio: Dan York lives in Keene and remotely manages the team responsible for the content on the websites of the Internet Society, a global nonprofit organization based in Reston, Virginia, and Geneva Switzerland. He has been working with web sites since the early 1990s and with WordPress since 2005. More information can be found at http://danyork.me
