WordPress.com EU privacy policy adds Irish and WooCommerce entities as data controllers
The 'Controllers and Responsible Companies' table now lists Aut O'Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd. for users in Designated Countries and WooCommerce, Inc. for users elsewhere, with Automattic Inc. as controller for some processing. A new entry names WooCommerce Ireland Ltd. as a controller, jointly with Automattic Inc. and WooCommerce, Inc. for some processing. The old version named Automattic Inc. as the controller for users outside the Designated Countries.
Taken from you
- Users outside the Designated Countries now have WooCommerce, Inc. as the responsible company instead of Automattic Inc. alone
- Some processing is now shared across several controllers, including joint controllers, which may make it harder to know who is responsible
Won back
- Clearer listing of which company is responsible for Woo-related Services, with Irish entity addresses for users in Designated Countries
