[R] R Software

[Evan Lindenberger]

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,
