I’m running a Discourse site in the EU. In the EU citizens have the right to request what data is collected about them. I don’t see a way to export a user’s profile, is there such a feature present in Discourse?

But you may want to use this:

There is a “Download All” button on the bottom of the users [Activity](https://meta.discourse.org/my/activity) page which creates an export of all visits, posts, flags, likes, bookmarks, badges and preferences for a user.

The information provided by that export is significantly extended by the [Legal Tools](https://meta.discourse.org/t/legal-tools-plugin/87966) plugin.
