In some implementations, a computing device can be configured for users (e.g., user devices) that are detected nearby the computing device. For example, the computing device may be a communal device configured for a single user but generally used by multiple users. The communal device can discover when a known (e.g., authorized, trusted, etc.) user device is near the communal device and obtain personalization data from the nearby user device. The communal device can configure the communal device based on the personalization data to personalize an activity hosted by the communal device for the user of the nearby user device. To protect the user's personalization data, the communal device can delete the user's personalization data when the activity hosted by the communal device is terminated.
