How can I delete my account?

The short answer is, you can’t.

The slightly longer answer is this: Unfortunately, you cannot delete your account yourself. But you can write an e-mail to info@orkg.org, saying that you don’t want to be attributed with the data you entered into our system anymore. Our team then anonymizes your account, so that your name won’t be displayed anymore next to the data you entered.

Since the ORKG is a knowledge graph, it is possible that other users are reusing the papers, comparisons or any other data you added to the ORKG in their work. Because of this, a complete deletion of your account and all data related to it, is not possible.

We hope you understand! If you have any further questions about this, please e-mail us using the address provided above.
