Facebook SDK and Privacy

The Facebook login checkbox is designed to get acceptance of user to automatically create a forum user account to comply to GDPR Article 22 - Automated individual decision-making, including profiling. This checkbox is not designed for the issue you're mentioning. That issue is a genera issue and it's better to solve for whole website. You should have some pop-up or other solution and display it on first visit of a user to your website. There are dozens of 3rd party libs from Google, Facebook and other popular services which should be covered on first visit to the home page of website.

We added all information about wpForo data usage in wpForo built-in Privacy policy template in Forum > Tools > Privacy and Rules admin page. Here is some part of that:

If a service provider needs to access information about you to perform services on our behalf, they do so under close instruction from us, including policies and procedures designed to protect your information.

Our administrators may choose to add new functionality or change the behavior of the community by installing third party apps within the community. Doing so may give third-party apps access to your account and information about you like your name and email address, and any content you choose to use in connection with those apps. Third-party app policies and procedures are not controlled by us, and this privacy policy does not cover how third-party apps use your information.

If you object to information about you being shared with these third parties, please uninstall the contact us and let us know as soon as possible. Below are the third party services we use on our community:

2.2.2 Links to Third Party Sites: Our community may include links that direct you to other websites or services whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit information to any of those third party sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Widgets and social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

You have right. But you can start to do it better than other Plugin Autors 🙂
Just an new Option that loads the SDK only when user would Login over Facebook and so on.

It was just an Suggestion. Then I will solve it on my own Site for myself.
