Introduction
If you’d like your personal information permanently deleted from the Betterworks application in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), please loop in one of your organization's Betterworks administrators (i.e. Super Admins). They are often part of the HR Team.
What gets deleted?
When a request is made to delete user information, the identifying information tied to the following fields will be changed to display "Anonymous User". However, content from activities within the Betterworks application will not be deleted (i.e. objectives, key results, notes, conversations, feedback, recognition, etc.):
- User's name
- User's job title
- User's email
- User's photo (if uploaded to their profile)
- User's office location
- User's phone number
- Any text in the "Tell me about yourself" field of their profile
Why is some information not deleted?
This is done in order to preserve historical references and avoid confusion for other users within your organization.
