Answers.Text: Thanks, so currently it isn't but is planned to be well before May 2018 if I understand this correctly. The detailed doc in the links looks to be something that will be very useful to me so that's good.

Body: <p>To how large degree is CiviCRM GDPR-compliant. One example that I just now thought of is, what if someone calls us and wants all our records of correspondence deleted from our systems. Can I just delete the contact and all activities, memberships records, volunteering etc disappears? Or do I do a lot more than this to ensure I stay GDPR-compliant? </p>
  
  <p>What are the plans to make CiviCRM GDPR-compliant (if such plans exist, or are considered)?</p>

  There is work ongoing to ensure that CiviCRM is GDPR-ready. Veda Consulting is leading on this I think, and there's an extension in progress [here](https://civicrm.org/extensions/gdpr) and some helpful background documentation [here](https://vedaconsulting.co.uk/GDPR).
