# Your account

> What you can manage under Settings in Unifuse: your profile, active sessions, two-factor authentication, notification preferences, and your own data.

Source: https://docs.unifuse.ai/getting-started/your-account/

Open **Settings** from the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar. The personal tabs are
**My Profile**, **Security** and **Notifications**. Administrators also see **Team & Roles**,
which opens the [Administration](/administration/overview/) page.

## My Profile

Your name and email are read-only. They come from your institution's identity provider or
its provisioning system, so changes are made there and flow through on your next sign-in or
sync.

Under **Your data**:

- **Download my data** gives you a file of the student and applicant records Unifuse holds
  about you.
- **Request erasure** asks your institution to erase your personal data. Unifuse shows a
  confirmation, creates a request with a reference number and a 30-day due date, and
  notifies your institution's administrators. If you already have an open request, pressing
  the button again shows the same request. See
  [Privacy requests](/administration/privacy-requests/) for what the institution does next.

## Security

- **Active sessions** lists every place you are signed in, with the device, network address
  and sign-in time. **Revoke** ends one session; **Sign out everywhere** ends them all.
- **Two-factor** lets you add an authenticator app and get backup codes. See
  [Signing in](/getting-started/signing-in/#two-factor-authentication) for what this does
  and does not do.

## Notifications

Choose, per category, whether to be notified in the app, by email, or both. The bell in the
header shows unread in-app notifications and takes you to the item each one is about.

## Sessions and timeouts

Your session ends after a period of inactivity, after a maximum length from sign-in, or when
an administrator signs you out. Only your own actions count as activity. There is no warning
before an idle timeout; you are returned to the sign-in page with a message explaining why.
Your institution sets the limits; see [Session policy](/administration/session-policy/).

## What's new

**What's new** in the user menu shows the release notes for the version you are using, pulled
from the [Unifuse changelog](https://changelog.unifuse.ai/).
