I don't think it's the case yet. GDPR will enforce the right to be forgotten and as such truly delete data about you, but other than that, I don't think there are other regulations forcing you to delete data.
- asfdsfggtfd 9y agoThis is why I said as of ?may?. The GDPR comes into force this year.
- plopilop 9y agoOh, my bad, I misunderstood your sentence.
- jjeaff 9y agoI'm not familiar with the specifics of the law, but my guess would be that it does not require that something be deleted upon any delete button click. I would assume it requires full deletion when requested through proper channels. There are plenty of cases where a system would not function correctly if you are actually erasing DB entries when a user clicks the delete button. In many cases, even the users themselves might expect to be able to undo or go to a delete list and see entries that were deleted.
