GDPR Data Request Form

I use on some sites, and I think it's really a fantastic plugin.

Thanx

I really love this plugin

An essential extension for those who want to comply with the GDPR. Not having this functionality in the Core is nonsense.

Essential.

Use WordPress Core GDPR tools to build front-end Personal Data export/erasure forms (includes Widget, Gutenberg Block, shortcode & Hooks).
