R Software

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,

Rui Barradas

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

(WISP)?

- Is R compliant with GDPR and ADA?

If someone could get back to me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
