Retaining access to your data when leaving VU Amsterdam

If you want to retain access to your OSF Projects, you could create a new account with a personal email address. Then merge this account with your institutional account, see the OSF Guide. Do this while your VUnetID is still active!

If your VUnetID has already expired, you can still create a new OSF account and ask a Project Admin to re-add you to the Projects.

If your VUnetID has expired and you are the only Project Admin please contact OSF Support.

Deleting your account

You’re always welcome to deactivate or delete your account. If you would like to delete your OSF account and personal data, please email OSF Support.
