Data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) might require specific handling of user data, even after a user profile is removed.

To ensure user data integrity, My webMethods Server stores timestamps for the initial registration of a of a user profile in My webMethods, and the latest modification that occurred before the current login session. Both timestamps are available for users and administrators to view as part of the user information for the profile. My webMethods users can review profile timestamps to ensure that they are aware of all profile modifications.

When an administrator deletes a profile using the user interface or API, or when users delete their own profiles, My webMethods Server clears all information about the user from the database and cache. However, since deleting a user account does not remove user identifying data that appear in log files, administrators can use the timestamps as a reference when cleaning up My webMethods Server log data.

Additionally, administrators can configure My webMethods Server to send e-mail notifications to users when their profile was modified, either by the users or by an administrator, and determine the level of detail that notification e-mails include.
