First of all, a happy new year to you all! The GMS2 version is probably going to take a while, since I have been really busying doing stuff for myself.

NEVER save people's email adresses, home locations, bank account, etc. until you consider it to be ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
If you apply this rule, you will be safe in general, because the GDPR is about personal data, and someone's highscore or username is not part of it. I would even argue that you apply this rule without having to stick to the GDPR, because you are keeping someone else's property which you also need to protect. Finally, just as @chamaeleon said, please open another topic if you would like to hear other people's opinion about GDPR compliance. My tutorial is at least perfectly safe to use (in my opinion).
EDIT: I added this answer to the FAQ in the tutorial
You're welcome! Awesome, didn't expect anyone to read all of themThank you for this guide, it's great that 3 years later you're still providing feedback and keeping this thread updated. I've spent the last half hour reading through all of the comments/feedback, what a great morning read. I can't wait to sit down and toy around with this leader board system!
Nobody talks here about GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation. How can it be integrated with the online high score system?
In general, you should apply one rule:"Holy open ended questions, Batman!"
1. Perhaps trim down the scope of your question to something manageable
2. Start a different topic instead of as part of a comment chain that has not much to do with gdpr
3. Be grateful that gms games no longer sends telemetry data to yoyogames, over which you would have had no control over what is sent or how it is managed
