360 Orbit Privacy Toolkit

Privacy Toolkit closes a gap WordPress leaves open by default: the IP address of every comment author is stored in full.

• New comments are anonymized immediately, before they are stored: for IPv4 the last part of the address is removed (203.0.113.42 becomes 203.0.113.0), for IPv6 everything after the first 48 bits.
• Existing comments are migrated in the background, or immediately via a button.
• A suggested privacy-policy text block, generated from which 360 plugins are actually active on this site — a starting point, not legal advice.

Free vs. Pro

The free version anonymizes comment IPs and generates the policy text.

Privacy Toolkit Pro adds:

• Configurable automatic deletion of old spam/trash comments (never affects approved comments).
• A consolidated, read-only overview of WordPress’ own data export/erasure requests, with direct links to process them.
• Settings export/import as JSON, for agencies setting up several sites identically.
