it's crucially important that we store personal information about our website's users in an opaque and insecure fashion because... reasons!

the only reasons you need to store pii:
1. you actually need it for your product to work
2. you're selling it
3. you're too lazy to manage your own products [and someone's probably selling it on the dl]

my current employer already had extensive systems and policies for protecting customer data in place so the only hassle we've encountered is an extra hour of mandatory training

attaching financial liability to pii is the only way companies will actually manage it responsibly

like how did yahoo stay in business after literally all their users data was compromised? they were just like "lol whoops" and paid a few million through arbitration

I think as long as any user who requests you remove their data from your system implicitly waives any liability regarding your services I could be ok with it. We store patient data pretty much forever for contractual/quality reasons and it would be impossible for us to meet any of those reporting requirements for a patient who has requested we remove the data about our interactions with them from our system.

I believe that you're not required to delete someone's data if you need it to fulfil legal or contractual obligations or for reasons such as billing or tax. There aren't too many situations where the right to be forgotten is applicable when it comes to most businesses.

That's not what the law says though. Under gdpr you have the right to be forgotten by all businesses unless your info is needed by law enforcement or for tax reasons. We don't have any governmental or tax reasons to keep this data (for our non-governmental clients atleast), but we have clinical quality and contractual obligations with the client.

I assume the law doesn't vary between countries and ICO in the UK says there are only a limited set of circumstances in which the right to be forgotten applies.

Which of those is the reason you would be required to delete the data? "Legitimate interests" is pretty broad and seems to cover you.

according to that there may be specific exceptions for what we do. also "to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;" and "for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims." seem like they could be interpreted pretty widely

There's a reason rtbf claims have mostly been applied to search engines aggregating results, and not to primary sources themselves.

get ready to wipe everything and destroy your database’s data integrity and delete your security audits since the law isnt clear and tries to cast a wide net so everyone and everything is in violation

IPs are only PII if you have access to or the legal ability to obtain other PII linked to that IP according to the EU courts in 2016, so log files containing IPs of unknown individuals are fine.

Don't know about usernames, but the right to be forgotten has get out clauses you could drive a truck through as long as you're not using the data for advertising and have "legitimate reasons" to keep the information.

i agree with gpdr for the most part, but i heard on the radio that even if you take a picture on vacation, and some strangers happen to be in the frame, that you need verbal consent to put it on fartbook or wherever or else you're technically breaking the law and owe $200 million dollars. seems like it might need a little shaping before it becomes real good.

If you're not an advertising company and you're not selling your user data, then it's just a case of sending out your opt in emails and having a process for data redaction if your service isn't covered by the huge "legitimate reasons" get out clause in the right to erasure.

i dont get why you guys are being so dense

deleting user data is a painful process if youve ever worked on a service before. every row tied to a username has to be deleted. theres no real good way to say oh this guy decided he wanted to be vaporized, lets delete everything and make everything they did completely disjointed and unusable. lets corrupt time and history bc if we dont, we will be in crippling debt

That's not how it works, read the legislation on right to erasure: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/right-to-erasure/

Specifically:

quote:

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary for one of the following reasons:

to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;

You can also refuse to comply with the right to erasure if it is "manifestly unfounded or excessive" which would cover this example even if it wasn't already invalid.
