This includes author names, email addresses and other address information provided in draft documents or as contact information for IETF roles such as Working Group chairs, secretaries, Area Directors and other roles. </p> <p> There is however additional personal information held in the datatracker that is used for other purposes. This information requires the consent of the individuals whose information is stored and processed which IETF secures through various means, and the person it relates to may at any time request its correction or removal. This includes: </p> <ul> <li>Personal photograph or other likeness;</li> <li>Personal biography;</li> <li>Personal email addresses not derived from IETF contributions; and </li> <li>Personal account login information</li> <li>Personal notification subscriptions</li> </ul> <p> Most of this information can be edited on the individual's <a href="/accounts/profile/">Account Info</a> page by the individual after logging in to the account. If the datatracker holds such information about a person, and they don't have an account, a request to the <a href="mailto:{{settings.SECRETARIAT_ACTION_EMAIL}}">IETF secretariat</a> to change or remove the information will be honoured to the extent feasible and legally permitted. </p> <p> Please also see the IETF's overall <a href="https://www.ietf.org/privacy-statement/">Statement concerning personal data</a>. </p> </div> {% endblock %}
