The Essential Headers plugin

Essential Headers configures HTTP security headers on WordPress sites where it is installed. The plugin is designed to send browser security instructions on responses. It is not designed to collect personal data from your site visitors for us.

Any personal data processed on a site that runs the plugin remains under the control of that site’s owner. If you install Essential Headers on your WordPress site, you are responsible for your own privacy practices and disclosures to your visitors.
