Data control options in Account Settings

Making OBA even more GDPR compliant.

• Deactivate your account — The right to restrict processing.
• Request my data — The right to data portability.
• Delete my account — The right to erasure.

Data Controls

Deactivation is a user state where profiles and badge submissions will not appear to managers or the public and is automated by the system by clicking this button, and reverted by logging in at a later date.

Request my data and deleting accounts is a manual process that goes through the Support team.
