WP Privacy Policy Shortcodes

A proof-of-concept WordPress plugin that adds shortcodes through which plugins can expose their privacy policy statements in a consistent fashion.

★ 5stars

Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/allendav/wp-privacy-policy-shortcodes/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Adds shortcodes through which plugins can expose their privacy policy statements in a consistent fashion.

Proposed Shortcodes

  • What data is collected from the user [privacy-what-personal-data-collected]
  • What we do with the data / why the data is collected [privacy-why-personal-data-collected]
  • Who the data is shared with (e.g. third-parties) [privacy-sharing-personal-data]
  • Where the data is stored, how access to the data is protected [privacy-storing-personal-data]
  • How long data is retained [privacy-retaining-personal-data]
  • What options the user may have about data collection and use [privacy-user-options-personal-data]
  • How the user can access, update, or delete the collected data [privacy-user-managing-personal-data]

The site owner can then create a privacy policy page like this and have each plugin contribute its content automatically:

What data is collected from you
[privacy-what-personal-data-collected]

What we do with your data / why the data is collected
[privacy-why-personal-data-collected]

Who your personal data is shared with (e.g. third-parties)
[privacy-sharing-personal-data]

Where your personal data is stored, how access to your personal data is protected
[privacy-storing-personal-data]

How long your data is retained
[privacy-retaining-personal-data]

What options you have about data collection and use
[privacy-user-options-personal-data]

How you can access, update, or delete your collected data
[privacy-user-managing-personal-data]

It then looks like this on the front-side:

Sample

Note: Intention is to get this eventually into WordPress core, possibly via the https://github.com/GDPRWP/GDPRWP-Plugin project
