Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a legal contract between the data controller and data processor guaranteeing that the data processor will appropriately handle the data provided by the data controller under the rules of GDPR. This states the liabilities and obligations of both the data controller and data processor, the purpose and the extent of data processing, and the relationship between the aforementioned parties.
In light of a recent German court case, which fined a website owner for violating the GDPR by using Google-hosted webfonts, WordPress.org’s themes team is updating its recommendations for hosting webfonts. Most theme authors have been enqueuing Google Fonts from the Google CDN for better performance, but this method exposes visitors’ IP addresses.
“The themes team strongly encourages the theme authors to update their themes,” Themes Team representative @benachi said in a recent announcement. “We recommend updating by switching to locally hosted webfonts. Luckily Google Fonts can be downloaded and bundled in a theme. Bundled font files allow users to host webfonts locally and comply with GDPR.”
The main purpose of GDPR is to protect the rights and freedoms of EU residents and to give them more control over their personal data, no matter where personal data is collected or processed.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the toughest privacy and security law in the world. Though it was drafted and passed by the European Union (EU), it imposes obligations onto organizations anywhere, so long as they target or collect data related to people in the EU.
