Hello! Thanks for getting back to me, I just need to ask these question while reviewing a software for the school, but just to clarify, the R Foundation itself does not need to abide by GDPR?
Also, the WISP mentioned would be how the R Foundation handles internal information regarding the company.

It's up to the users/developers to comply to laws. (I hope they do.) Regarding this, R is pretty much the same as, for instance, C, C++, Fortran, etc. And just like those languages R is used by companies and other institutions, government or private, that enforce strong security policies.
