Wordfence and GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation
Defiant, the company behind Wordfence, has updated its terms of use, privacy policies and software, as well as made available a data processing agreement to meet GDPR compliance. Customers must review and agree to updated terms in order to continue using our products and services. We also provide a data processing agreement if you qualify as a data controller under the GDPR.
In This Article
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of rules that provide data subjects with more control over their personal data. GDPR defines a data subject as anyone within the borders of the EU at the time of processing their personal data. It includes regulations on how EU data can be exported outside of the EU. It is changing the way organizations approach data privacy and the handling of personal information.
Agreement to new Terms and Privacy Policies
To continue using Defiant products and services including the Wordfence plugin, all customers must review and agree to the updated terms and privacy policies. The Wordfence interface will remain disabled until these terms are agreed to. These changes reflect our commitment to follow data protection best practices and regulations.
Data Processing Agreement
Defiant provides a data processing agreement to help customers meet their data privacy and protection obligations that are part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Defiant has pre-signed the agreement and it is available to all Defiant customers that are processing personal data and operate in the European Economic Area (EEA) or are otherwise subject to the territorial scope of the GDPR. To learn more about privacy and data protection rules of the EEA click here.
To comply with EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), our EU customers must sign our Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) and the Standard Contractual Clauses to establish the respective responsibilities between the Defiant customer (as the data controller) and Defiant itself (as the data processor). If the GDPR applies to you please download, sign, and email both the DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses to privacy@defiant.com. Both the DPA and Standard Contractual Clauses are available in one document below. Note you must sign in two places.

Remember to sign in two places and email it to privacy@defiant.com.

Who gets this cookie: This is only set for users that are able to log into WordPress.
How this cookie helps: This cookie allows the Wordfence firewall to detect logged in users and allow them increased access. It also allows Wordfence to detect non-logged in users and restrict their access to secure areas.
