Anonymize Your Personal Data
In an effort to support the right to erasure or 'right to be forgotten' as outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for data subjects who reside in the European Union, Hub gives you the ability to anonymize your personal data. When you anonymize your user account, your personal data is sanitized in such a way that is no longer identifiable. The full name, email addresses, usernames, login details, profile change history, and IP addresses are replaced according to the current anonymization scheme. There are two options for the anonymization scheme in Hub.
Scheme | Description |
|---|---|
Hashed | Personal data is pseudonymized by replacing it with SHA-256 hashes. While the pseudonymized data is no longer stored in a human-readable state, it is still possible to link the hashes with the original values. |
Randomized | Personal data is replaced with random values. This anonymization irreversibly destroys any way of identifying the data subject. The randomized data cannot be reverted to a readable state. |
To learn which anonymization scheme is used in your Hub installation, contact your administrator.
