Comment (by ianatkins):

 Interesting reading, especially the brevity of Matt's reply on a meeting
 note:
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2009/12/10/suggest-agenda-items-for-dec-
 17th-dev-ch/#comment-1042

 Seems no one in that ticket is quite sure who actually controls the data.
 There is some suggestion it's Automattic Inc?

 There is this, now archived GIST, listing what is logged - whether that
 remains current.
 https://github.com/wordpress-privacy/info/blob/master/v1archive/Synched-
 info.md

 Seem's whomever controls api.wordpress.org is non-compliant in terms of
 GDPR ( and probably other privacy frameworks ) and will remain at risk of
 enforcement.

 Further clarity would be appreciated.
