XF 2.1 What is "View your identities" about?

[ge66]

A user wondered what "View your identities" under Privacy:

https://xenforo.com/community/account/privacy

is related to.

And I actually don't know.

It relates to any custom fields you put in the "contact details" location. It's exposed in the UI under "Identities" here: https://xenforo.com/community/account/account-details

It's designed for references to your account (identity) on other systems.

Thank you, I had an inkling about that.

I have removed all of those, as I think that users could inform about things like that in "About you", if they want to or via conversation. And there are a lot of different other services, and you would have a hard time listing and removing them over time, I think.

I think I also thought they could be a problem with GDPR.
