=== Information email addresses ===Information, including email addresses, send sent to OrthodoxWiki's sysops and adminstrators may be shared internally.

You may provide your e-mail address in your Preferences. This allows other logged-in users may send email to you through the wiki (unless you disable this in your preferences). Your address will not be revealed to them unless you respond, or possibly if the email bounces. The email address may be used by OrthodoxWiki to communicate with users on a wider scale. We may use your email to send special announcements pertaining directly to OrthodoxWiki. If this does happen, such announcements will be very rare.
If you do not provide an email address, you will not be able to reset your password if you forget it. However, you may contact one of the OrthodoxWiki developer developers to enter a new mail address in your preferences.
You can remove your email address from your preferences at any time to prevent it from being used.
=== IRC ===
The [[wOrthodoxWiki:IRC channelsChat|OrthodoxWiki IRC channelschannel]] are is not officially part of OrthodoxWiki proper. By participating to an IRC channel, your IP address will be exposed to other participants. Different channels have different policies on whether logs may be published. We cannot accept responsibilty for any information shared in an IRC channel or any of the content of that channel.

===User Accounts===
User accounts, once created, cannot be removed. However, it may be possible for a [[bureaucrat]] to change your username, but you need to make such arrangements yourself. There is no guarantee provided by the [[OrthodoxWiki Foundation]] in the [[privacy policy]] that a name will be changed on request.
=== Removal of user accounts ===
Once created, user accounts can not be removed. It may be possible for an administrator to change the username on an account, but you will need to request this yourself. OrthodoxWiki's adminstration does not guarantee that a name will be changed on request. See below for details.
Whether specific user information is deleted is dependant dependent on the deletion policies of the project that contains the information.
=== Right to Vanish ===
==Deletion of content==
Deleting text from the OrthodoxWiki website does not really delete them. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted,", any sysop/administrator, meaning almost anyone trusted not to abuse the deletion capability, can see what was deleted. Only an administrator can permanently delete information from the OrthodoxWiki projects and there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to legal action.
