With the GDPR we are only looking at the right to be forgotten at personal content created in a learner's portfolio area, but not in the group area. The group area is a collaboration and thus not strictly always personal. It gets a bit murky. Until there is more information available on how to deal with group content, it would be best to put something into the privacy statement and say that group content is not deleted automatically.
Please see the comment on https://wiki.mahara.org/wiki/Developer_Area/Specifications_in_Development/GDPR_compliance #Nice-to-have_technical_changes : "Before group content is deleted though, it might be good to have it in a pending state so that the group admin can review the request to prevent students deleting content that they shouldn't because other group members still need it or where the content has proper license that allows re-use for example. Comment: The definition of 'personal data to be deleted' is quite vague because exactly what 'personal data' is, is defined by a data controller in practice. There are also arguments supporting preservation of data that is group content on the basis of not infringing on the rights of others, but collaborative works are not really covered in the GDPR on any level. Giving an administrator the choice to delete or not delete would provide suitable functionality from Mahara's perspective." In regard to you being allowed to make copies of student pages before they are deleted: Best check with them. We implemented the approval of deletion of personal accounts so an institution could review things. This is not available for groups yet due to the different status there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

However, views, files and discussions in groups can't be backed up. Views and files can be transferred into one's individual portfolio and backed up from there, but if you have many group views / files that can be quite cumbersome. It would be easier if groups could be backed up. Backup options could be: - entire group as HTML web site - (series of) individual pages as HTML and Leap2A so that they can be imported into one's own portfolio later - only forum discussions as HTML web site To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/732971/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
