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.
Sincerely,
Evan Lindenberger

Hello,
I do not speak for the R Foundation but I believe you are not aware that
R is a computer language for statistics biostatistics and (scientific)
graphics.
- R itself does not collect data.
- Security policies are left to the users.
- You can program whatever you want since R is Turing equivalent, GDPR
or ADA compliant or not. 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.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
My name is Evan Lindenberger and I work at the Johnson & Wales
information security office. We received a request for R Software, but I
have a few questions before we start using R, such as:
- What information does R collect?
- Does the R Foundation have a written information security policy
- Is R compliant with GDPR and ADA?
If someone could get back to me, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
