The Kocicky website is still not fully finished, and new features keep being added to it all the time.
Do you dislike websites where you simply cannot erase your identity completely, because the site just does not offer that option? Or a small variation on that: the site pretends to care about your privacy, yet it clings to your data tooth and nail, even though at first glance it claims the opposite (see Facebook, for example).
Well, that could not happen to you with me, at least not on the Kocicky website. It is ready now; I will just be adding a few more features to the site, so afterwards I will have to extend it again so that it deletes those new things too. Today I spent most of my time writing a class that permanently removes data, and I did it thoroughly, from the ground up. This means you can remove any content you have produced on my website. If you have been quite active on my website, after the deletion page loads you will see a dialog similar to this one:
It works as follows:
- If you decide to delete the owner, all of your data will be removed completely. That is because if I kept, for example, a vet clinic, whose page shows who added it, that spot would be left empty. However, there is an idea to add the ability to transfer a vet clinic, and it will probably be implemented, just as cats can already be transferred between individual owners.
Together with the owner profile, all photos will be removed, both the owner’s and those of all cats, from the hosting, so think carefully about whether you really want this, or whether it might be better to delete just some of the photos. If, for example, you left a comment on someone else’s vet clinic, after your owner profile is deleted this comment will no longer be displayed, because it will be truly deleted! - Cats can currently be removed only one at a time (unless you are deleting the owner, in which case all of them are of course deleted). Together with a cat profile, only the photos of that 1 cat are deleted, including subfolders, while the photos of all other cats and of the owner remain fully intact. Maybe some day I will add the ability to delete several cats at once.
- The cattery can also be deleted completely.
- A vet clinic is deleted including all comments that anyone has given to it.
