Everyone can :ref:`delete their account <user_delete_account>` or request the deletion of their account if an institution requires a review. In the GDPR, this is known as 'the right to be forgotten'. All personal content is deleted. The content a person created outside of their personal space is not affected by the account deletion as it is tied to shared content rather than personal content. These include:

group discussion posts;

93.

journal entries on the group, institution, or site level;

94.

uploaded files to a group, institution, or site;

95.

portfolios in groups, on the institution or site level.

96.

A :ref:`report <legal_consent_report>` detailing when people consented to which legal statement.

Names and email addresses of deleted accounts are not kept in the system but replaced. Typically, a record of them needs to stay in Mahara because they could have contributed to groups or left comments on other people's portfolios. However, their name is not displayed. Instead, the generic name 'Deleted account' is displayed.

Data storage

You can install Mahara on your own server infrastructure or use an existing (cloud) data center. It is up to your institution to make that decision based on your technical, financial, and legal requirements and obligations.

Mahara does not prevent you from installing the site anywhere you see fit and does increasingly support cloud storage.
