 Principle 5 of the GDPR requires you to retain personal data no longer
 than is necessary for the purpose you obtained it for, ideally this means
 that after a period of time (determined by the admin) Users Data should be
 automatically deleted or annonymised there is currently no way to show the
 Admin when a user last visited the site so no way for them to know when to
 "Forget" Users let alone an automated way to do this.

 What is required is
 1. Some method of recording when a user last logged into the site
 2. An automated way of "Forgetting" users after a period set by the site
 admin

 A further option for sites where sales occur would possibly be to add an
 accounting delay so that accounting records could be kept. for the period
 required by different countries laws, after the last purchase by a
 particular user, but that might need to be added to relevant plugins such
 as woocommerce
