Greetings,

We will disable access to your community account and as a result in all =
services directly depending on it. We will delete any information that =
we are able to. Certain information that we retain cannot be deleted =
without seriously impairing the integrity of project archives, and as =
such will not be deleted. This data retention is provided for in article =
17, paragraph 3d of the GDPR.

We are not able to delete copies of information that are held by parties =
other than the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. For example, emails =
posted to mailing lists may be archived by other organizations, and we =
are not able to delete those, or request their deletion on your behalf.  =
Each organization will have its own policies around deletion.

The PostgreSQL community is federated, and other organizations (such as =
PostgreSQL US and PostgreSQL Europe) have their own policies regarding =
information retention. You will need to contact those organizations =
directly if you wish them to act on a data deletion request.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group administers some data on behalf =
of organizations, such as the PostgreSQL Community Association of =
Canada, that are not covered by the GDPR. However, we act in the spirit =
of the GDPR to the best of our ability in handling deletion requests =
that affect that data.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Best,
-- Christophe Pettus
