Since afaik toribash doesn't use any user information for the sake of targeted advertisement, a simple outline of cookies should suffice. Along with an updated Privacy Policy.

In addition to the above, vBulletin 5 is receiving a GDPR compliance sub-system with GEO-Location and Guest compliance support in the next version to be released. The Mobile Apps are also being updated to work with GDPR when used with vBulletin 5.
a little more on why updating to vB5 would be worth while, since anything under is EOL.

I think along with HTTPS implementation, which is free these days with
Let's Encrypt, Two Factor Authentication(2FA) could be a good thing to look into. Again AFAIK that comes with vB5.

Not entirely sure if it's up to date, but the business details can be found
here. and also due to the ToS all tc/items are property of nabi. I wonder if that negates anything? (I wouldn't know since I'm no expert haha)
I believe it would be an unreasonable expectation for tb/nabistudios to be fully compliant with every law. But I do think it could start going in the right direction. With a focus on security and user privacy. Also the
ToS could do with a bit more...
