Hi,
we use the plugin WP-FFPC (Version 1.11.2) on our website. we are located in germany. we need to check if the plugins used are compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
are personal data processed by the plugin? are personal data stored by the plugin? will personal data be transmitted through the plugin to countries outside the EU?
thanks for the information

FWIW, I'm just a fellow user of the plugin, but I don't see where and how the plugin would collect, store or process personal data.

It doesn't have to do anything with GDPR, it's a cache. If you site is GDPR complient, it's fine, if not, it's not.

This is the good thing about open source though: get a PHP programmer to verify my statement.

In an ancient version (0.6? something like that) I made the mistake of trying to show a warning, which was served directly from https://petermolnar.net/wp-ffpc/ . This "feature" is long gone.The server behind petermolnar.eu stores 2 weeks of apache-style server log, deleted afterwards. I haven't seen that URL hit in years.

With 1.11.2, this is not present. There is no data collected in the plugin in any form, not even an IP address, let alone personal data.
