Thank you for reporting this, this issue has been fixed in the newer version.
Hi,
A new version will be released tomorrow and in it will be an option to change the text.
Hi,
We’ll add the option to change the text and release the update this week, most likely tomorrow. GDPR goes into effect on May 25th.
Hi,
Go to WP admin > Plugins, you’ll see the new version notification there, just click the update link.
Just released the update, it adds a checkbox for the visitor to confirm the subscription and has a link to the privacy policy of the newsletter system provider. It’s on by default and can be disabled under “Form Options”.
Based on the research I’ve done that’s all that is needed to be GDPR compliant. But pretty much every article I’ve read made sure to point out that it’s not 100% definite information and is best to talk to a lawyer.
We’ll keep monitoring the situation and if other changes are needed we’ll implement them.

Happy to hear it’s sorted out.
Hi,
Haven’t received an email yet, did you send it?
From what I’ve been able to understand a checkbox will be enough for this specific purpose. But I’m still looking into it, so I’m not 100% sure at the moment.
If a checkbox is enough, we’ll release the update this week. The GDPR “compatibility” deadline is May 25th.
Hi,
We are looking into it. It might be as simple as adding an extra checkbox at the bottom of the form like for example at the bottom of webdesignerdepot.com
But in case it needs to be something like shown on Mailchimp forms builder then it’s a bit problematic.
Hi,
From what I understood a simple checkbox is not enough. It needs to be something like this:
Which makes for a very large form.
We’ll look into it and if it can be as simple as a checkbox and a bit of text then we’ll definitely add that this week.
