Deleted User Anonymizer

Maintained by Marius Rosenbaum, oncampus GmbH, Ramona Rommel, Alexander Müller
Moodle retains some user data by design even after user deletion, which may be a concern depending on the specific data privacy policies of an organisation or local legal interpretations. This plugin anonymizes the remaining personal data in the mdl_user-table after deletion.

I just did a test on 5.1.3 and it works. This plugin is great and as Richard mentionned, this should be core to Moodle! The random names are also quite fun to read. Thanks!

@Richard Our data protection officer seems to think just setting 'deleted = 1' is insufficient which is why this plugin exists smile

Very nice! Can someone tell me if the standard Moodle way of handling things in mdl_user is actually conform the GDPR legislation in EU? Because if not, don't we need this plugin to be standard Moodle functionality to keep it legal in the EU? We do have a 'right to forget' in the EU, and just setting the mdl_user record to 'deleted=1' always stroke me as odd. Handy, but odd smile
