* Many websites state that they are GDPR compliant. However, such statements do not mean that they are actually compliant. Since ManageWP (GoDaddy inc.) is not a self-hosted solution, you will need to review their Privacy Policy and their Data Processing Agreement (if they provide such documentation) to ensure that they are actually GDPR compliant.
Since ManageWP (GoDaddy inc.) collects and processes your clients’ personal information, you will need to ensure that they are GDPR compliant and will need to inform your clients that you are using ManageWP (GoDaddy inc.).
MainWP does not collect any of your clients’ personal information and thus does not keep any of your clients’ personal information on its servers. Since no personal information is collected, self-hosted solutions bypass GDPR completely. Using MainWP means that all personal information remains exclusively under your control.
Solutions that are not self-hosted collect personal information from your clients’ websites and keep that information on their servers. The collection of this personal information implicates GDPR. In addition, these solutions can also transfer this personal data to other companies and even to countries outside of the European Union, which can lead to GDPR violations.
