Dear WordPress team,
I am unsure whether this is a bug or a design-related gap.
When I use the **WP dashboard/Tools/Erase personal data** function, the
Biographical information field is not deleted. It seems to be the standard
behavior for any WP site.
Shouldn’t this be considered as personal data? A user could enter here
his/her name, unique identifier, etc. As the field name suggests, the user
might populate it with personal information.
I am looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks!
Steps to reproduce:
1. Clean WP install
2. New user registration
3. User populates biographical information
4. Administrator runs WP dashboard/Tools/Erase personal data
5. Administrator runs WP dashboard/Tools/Export personal data and sees the
biographical information still in the system
