About
Use WordPress Core GDPR tools to build front-end Personal Data export/erasure forms (includes Widget, Gutenberg Block, shortcode & Hooks).
Security History
What It Does
GDPR Data Request Form wraps the personal data export and erasure tools built into WordPress core and exposes them on the front end through a shortcode, Gutenberg block, widget, or developer hooks. Site visitors can submit requests to download or delete their personal data without needing backend access, and administrators handle those requests through the existing WordPress privacy tools.
Who It's For
This plugin is a good fit for small to mid-sized WordPress sites, particularly EU-based businesses, online shops, and membership sites that need a public-facing way to accept data subject access requests. It is best suited for site owners who already trust the built-in WordPress privacy workflow and just need a simple front-end entry point rather than a full compliance suite.
Who Should Skip It
If you are already using a broader privacy or consent management plugin like Complianz or CookieYes, adding this is redundant because those suites include data request forms. Sites that need automated identity verification, request tracking, or integration with third-party data processors should look for a more feature-rich DSR platform instead.
The Bottom Line
GDPR Data Request Form is a focused, well-maintained utility that does one thing well: it gives visitors a way to submit GDPR data export and deletion requests using WordPress core's built-in privacy tools. With a 76.86 quality score, near-perfect user ratings, and solid compatibility, it is a sensible pick for small sites that only need the front-end form layer. Larger organizations with complex compliance workflows will outgrow it quickly.
Related Plugins
Pick this if your main need is a cookie consent banner for GDPR and CCPA, as it has a much larger install base and broader consent management features.
Choose Complianz when you want an all-in-one privacy suite that combines cookie consent, script blocking, and a data request form backed by 1 million installs.
Choose Matomo when your privacy concern is really about analytics tracking, since it offers a self-hosted, cookie-free alternative to Google Analytics.
Pick CookieYes if you need an easy-to-configure cookie banner with strong scanning and consent logging, though it overlaps only partially with this plugin's DSR focus.
Choose this if you need a consent-based legal framework tied to a broader compliance platform, rather than a simple data request form.
