Please have a look at it.

Thanks a lot & best regards

Thank you for updating the privacy.md

## Data being presented

- At the overview of the questions of a question pool, the values of the field 'Author' for all questions are shown, which may contain personal data.
- At the 'Statistics' of a question, the 'Author' of tests is displayed at the table 'This question is used in the following tests', if the question is used in tests. This information originates from the metadata service (see above).

In the Question form Author is stored.

This is already covered in "Data being stored". --> Line 26: “At the creation process of questions the field 'Author' is prefilled with the full name of the user, which is creating the question. If this value is not changed, the name of the user is stored.”

## Data being exported

- The XML export of the question pool contains the personal data 'Author' of the questions and of the question pool itself within the metadata.
- It's purpose is to being imported in ILIAS again, although the contained personal data is easily accesible.

To my best knowledge the authors name is dragged to export, because projects wanting to disseminate questions want to allow for users of the disseminated question getting in contact to the author of said question.

Hi @selyesa & @atoedt,

thanks for your feedback. With my last change I have replaced "user" by "account" and added some more purposes for storing/exporting personal data.

Best regards
Simon
