<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">Services using the Matrix protocol rely on Matrix homeservers which share user data with the wider ecosystem over federation.</span>

<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">Some Matrix rooms are bridged to third-party services, such as IRC networks, twitter or email. When a room has been bridged, your messages and media may be copied onto the bridged service.</span>

# Bridging
* <span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">Bridged services can be located anywhere in the world, and are subject to local laws and regulations.</span>
Some Matrix rooms are bridged to third-party services, such as IRC networks, twitter or email.
When a room has been bridged, your messages and media may be copied onto the bridged service.

- It may not be technically possible to support your management of your data once it has been copied onto a bridged service.
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">The homeserver the user is using may provide a range of integrations in the form of Widgets (web applications accessed as part of the Matrix Client webapp) and Bots (automated participants in rooms). Bots and Widgets have access to the messages and files in rooms in</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;"> which they participate.</span>

<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">You can request that we forget your data if you deactivate your account. Each user in a Matrix conversation receives their own copy of all messages and files in that conversation (similar to email), so we ensure data is forgotten by ensuring that your data</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;"> is not shared further and is not visible to future users. Once all users’ copies have been forgotten the messages and files will be deleted from the homeserver database. For full details, please see the </span>[<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#0000ee;"><u>full privacy notice</u></span>](https://matrix.org/legal/privacy-notice/ "https://matrix.org/legal/privacy-notice/")<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">.</span>
# Integration Services (Bots and Widgets)
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">If you remove (redact) a message, the message content will no longer be accessible to users. Redactions only remove message content, your display name and avatar - your username will still be visible. Federated homeservers and some matrix clients may not h</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">onour the redaction request.</span>
The homeserver the user is using may provide a range of integrations in the form of Widgets (web applications accessed as part of the Matrix Client webapp) and Bots (automated participants in rooms).
Bots and Widgets have access to the messages and files in rooms in which they participate.

<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">New Vector processes your data under Legitimate Interest. This means that we process your data only as necessary to deliver the Service, and in a manner that you understand and expect.</span>
# Forgetting your Data
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">The Legitimate Interest of our Service is the provision of decentralised, openly-federated and (optionally) end-to-end encrypted communication services. The processing of user data we undertake is necessary to provide the Service. The nature of the Service</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;"> and its implementation results in some caveats concerning this processing, particularly in terms of GDPR Article 17 Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten). We believe these caveats are in line with the broader societal interests served by providing the </span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">Service. These caveats are discussed in detail in the full privacy notice, but the most important restriction is that your username will still be publicly associated with rooms in which you have participated even if you deactivate your account and ask us t</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">o forget your data.</span>
You can request that we forget your data if you deactivate your account.
Each user in a Matrix conversation receives their own copy of all messages and files in that conversation (similar to email), so we ensure data is forgotten by ensuring that your data is not shared further and is not visible to future users.
Once all users’ copies have been forgotten the messages and files will be deleted from the homeserver database. For full details, please see the [full privacy notice](https://matrix.org/legal/privacy-notice).
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans';font-size:14px;color:#24292e;">In situations where the interests of the individual appear to be in conflict with the broader societal interests, we will seek to reconcile those differences in accordance with our policy.</span>
If you remove (redact) a message, the message content will no longer be accessible to users.
Redactions only remove message content, your display name and avatar - your username will still be visible. Federated homeservers and some matrix clients may not honour the redaction request.
