Account deletion permanently removes your account.

• your login credentials are removed
• your profile is deleted or anonymised
• access is permanently revoked

Important:

• some content may remain for integrity reasons
• ownership may be reassigned or anonymised

• you no longer wish to use HORTUS
• you want your data removed
• permanent exit from the platform

Before deleting your account:

• verify if you have active contributions
• check ownership of projects or resources
• ensure data you need is exported

Deletion may be irreversible.

HORTUS is a collaborative platform.

This means:

• content may involve multiple users
• removing an account does not always remove shared content

Possible outcomes:

• content remains with anonymised authorship
• ownership transferred to other users
• restricted visibility applied

Account actions affect roles:

• deactivation → roles are suspended
• deletion → roles are removed permanently

If you return after deactivation:

• roles may need reactivation

• use deactivation for temporary absence
• use deletion only when necessary
• review your contributions before action
• contact support for clarification

Account management in HORTUS:

• supports both temporary and permanent actions
• preserves system integrity and collaboration
• requires careful consideration before deletion

Users should:

• understand consequences
• verify data and ownership
• choose the appropriate action
