# GDPR: Include user data in WordPress export

 * WordPress 4.9.6 (due for release tomorrow, release candidates available) includes
   a new feature allowing export of all a user’s data. (This is necessary for sites
   that desire GDPR compliance, or just for anyone who thinks that allowing users
   to see what data you have on them is the right thing to do).
 * Currently, VFB does not hook in to include its data (specifically, the forms 
   submitted by a particular user) in this export. So, the export is incomplete/
   misleading.
 * Here’s the patch used by another plugin to add this feature, showing the relevant
   WP hooks to use, and how to use them: [https://github.com/AffiliateWP/AffiliateWP/pull/2666](https://github.com/AffiliateWP/AffiliateWP/pull/2666)

 * Also… VFB ought to hook the `delete_user` action and remove associated data when
   a user is deleted.

 * Is it possible to indicate whether this will be implemented? Then at least we
   can take a decision about use of VFB based upon that.
