Deleting personal data from Mumsnet

2 replies

Sunnierclime · 04/03/2025 21:08

I’m thinking about deleting all my social media and online accounts, trying to bring my digital footprint right down, concerns about hacking etc.
If I delete my mumsnet account, will mumsnet still retain my personal information such as email-mail address etc anywhere on the system?
Ideally I’d like to delete my old posts, but I’ve been here for years and years under various names and there are probably thousands of posts! If my posts remain, will any of my personal information still be associated with them somewhere in the system?

Hi there Sunnierclime,

No, if you deregister your account all your personal data is deleted. This doesn't include posts but there will be no personal data remaining linked to those posts. Hope that helps.
