Limited retention

Minimal records may temporarily remain in protected backups, security logs or where retention is required by law. They are not used for continued personalised learning and are deleted or anonymised under the applicable retention cycle.

Delete one source instead

If the whole account does not need to be deleted, choose a source under Profile → Privacy. Before confirmation, Lingus shows the related learning data that will be removed with it.
