By default, VuFind collects some user information in order to support user-facing features and to make the user experience more convenient. Configuration options are available to control exactly how much user data is stored.

If privacy is your first priority, you can turn on VuFind's privacy mode, controlled by the privacy setting in the [Authentication] section of config.ini. When this setting is turned on, no user data will be stored, but user-oriented features like saved favorite lists and comments cannot be supported. See the comments in the configuration file for more details.
