Ok, general update as promised. It’s important to remember that Discourse can be used in GDPR compliant ways, but software itself isn’t compliant or non-compliant. If you host Discourse for users covered by GDPR, you’ll need to do so in a GDPR-compliant way. What that looks like for you will depend on your interpretation of the guidelines and how you specifically use your member’s data.

**A user’s right to be informed**  
We have updated the privacy statement that ships with Discourse. You can see our version [here](https://meta.discourse.org/privacy). You can edit your own version to suit.

**A user’s right to be forgotten**  
Users and their posts can be deleted or anonymised by an admin. We have added support in  
[v2.0.0beta8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-0-0-beta8-release-notes/86722) to rename users in mentions and quotes when anonymising, as well as support for anonymising a user’s IP addresses

**A user’s right to a copy of their data**  
A user can download their activity as a .csv file by going to their activity summary. An admin can do this for other members by impersonating them.

**A user’s right to modify their data**  
Depending on how you have configured your Discourse instance, a user can modify their data via their personal preferences and/or by contacting an Admin.

**Gaining consent**  
You can customise your own instance to include a [mandatory custom field on registration](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-make-users-to-explicitly-agree-to-tos/83480/4) or you could use the [Custom Wizard Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-make-users-to-explicitly-agree-to-tos/83480/60) as a means to gain consent.
