Scott DeLuzio and PrivacyWP for GDPR

Scott DeLuzio is a WordPress plugin developer who likes to scratch his own itch on some pretty heavy topics, and his latest is no exception. We talk about one of this summer’s hottest topics: GDPR. Scott and I spoke about this just days before the regulation took hold, so we were working through what it is, how it affects us, and of-course how his plugin can help. I should remind you that we are not lawyers.

Intro: Hello everyone and welcome to episode 83 of How I Built It. In today’s episode I talk to Scott DeLuzio about one of this summer’s hottest topics: GDPR. Scott and I spoke about this just days before the regulation took hold, so we were working through what it is, how it affects us, and of-course how his plugin can help. I should remind you that we are not lawyers, and if you have serious GDPR concerns, you should talk to your lawyer! But if you’re curious about some good tools, this is a great episode!
This episode is brought to you by Pantheon and MailPoet, who you’ll here about a little later. But for now, on with the show!
Joe Casabona: Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of How I Built, the podcast that asks, “How did you build that?”
Today my guest is Scott DeLuzio. And Scott, I’m going to let you introduce yourself because I know you have a few different things, and you’ve been associated with the show before. So first of all, Scott, thanks for joining me today. I appreciate it.
Scott DeLuzio: Yeah, sure. Thanks for having me, my name is Scott DeLuzio. I started developing plugins for WordPress really as a way to scratch my own itch. I’ve been listening to this show for a while, and I know that I’m not quite alone there I know that a lot of other people have done that, but in doing that I got pretty good at solving problems. When I’d be at work camps or meet ups and things like that, talking to people about the problems they were having, I’d sort of think of ways to solve their problems. Or realize, “Yeah, that’s something I’ve had a problem with too.
And so I’d start to come up with ways to solve their problems in addition to my own problems. Over the last few years I’ve developed 15 plugins on WordPress.org, and I have another five premium products that I sell. Including one of which we will be talking about today
Joe: Wow, that’s great. When we were scheduling you to be on the show, we talked about, “Do you want to talk about WP-CRM System?” hich is one of your plugins that you’ve advertised on the show–
Scott: Yeah, sure–
Joe: You’ve acquired a plugin from Pippin, and then we settled on this one about the GDPR, right?
Scott: Correct.
