It is literally impossible to even change that extension. A whole rewrite from scratch is needed.

https://github.com/miraheze/DownloadData is for anyone who wants to start working on this. :)

If labster can provide me with a list of data we must give, I am willing to take this task.

It’s just things like name, username, email address, gender etc. In my opinion it just a simple easy display of special:preferences. Plus we don’t really even need this anyway.

Though download your data that we have on the user, special preference may show some info but it dosen't let you download it in one easy go :)

IP address can be PII too, especially when tied to a user account. You'd have to get all IPs recorded for all edits from that user. And a list of all edits made by that user -- honestly not sure if we'd have to include the revision text or not.

Am I correct to say that piwik anonymizes IPs when storing them? So essentially, you don't get a full IP address stored there, so nothing could directly tie it back to a user?

piwiki was updated i think to be in compliance with the gdpr.

Yeh from the settings it shows that it hides parts of the ip out.

we have it set at 1byte(s)

CheckUser data remains on the fleet for 90 days.

I could tie Matomo information back to a user in certain circumstances, because a user may be the very own person using an IP address in the 1.2.3.X space - and via CheckUser/access logs I can look for requests with a matching User-Agent.

The data is deleted after 90 days in Matomo (internal handling) as well as CheckUser (maintenance script) and access logs (logrotated).

@Southparkfan there's this extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AccountInfo

But it's not easily downloadable though?

Otherwise facebook could say the same thing.

It's all on one page. Facebook stores a lot of data over a period of years you can't have on one page.
