 * Is your plugin GDPR ready?
 * Is personal data collected with the plugin? IP addresses? Are these transmitted
   somewhere?
 * Many thanks for your help 🙂

 * The Events Calendar itself doesn’t have any functionality that would solicit 
   and record personal information from visitors to your site automatically, with
   the possible exception of our Event Aggregator import service (which can pull
   in event data from external sources such as Facebook, however this is a paid 
   service that is not enabled by default).
 * However, it would certainly be possible for you/your team to add personal information
   in various places (a good example might be the personal details of any organizers
   you add to the calendar). At this time, there are no tools to help find and redact
   or remove information of that nature from within the plugin, though I’d expect
   in most cases it could be done manually without too much effort and – ultimately–
   this isn’t much different from a scenario where you or your team add personal
   details to regular posts or pages.
 * I hope that helps!
