Hi there,

I have had an account on PHP Classes for a while now. Sadly, it does not even seem like this site is GDPR compliant, since users can't even delete their account (https://www.phpclasses.org/faq/#delete-account).
That is kind of sad since this EU regulation strives to guarantee basic privacy protections and general data ethics.

Looking at this issue it is just plain sad how a site with much potential could end up in such a mess. Other users have already been criticizing the design and usability before but there seems to be a much deeper underlying issue with the site in general here.
Of course we all understand it is hard to run and appreciate the efforts to keep PHP Classes alive, but something needs to change here.

Is there any way we can address these issues?

Herr,

Thank you for your notice. We are aware that we need to work on GDPR compliance. We already attended to a course in 2019 to learn all we need to do to make it compliant.

It will take as a huge amount of time to make it compliant because of the complexity of the GDPR law, but we plan to do it before august 2020 when will be implemented, the LGPD law, which is a similar law of the of country we are based.

Still we can process account deletion requests manually using the link that you followed.

Regarding the design we are implementing a new design right now after a long time of development and integration. We are not done yet but we hope to finish integration in the next days.

Thank you again for the notice and understanding.
