And what is personal data? this problem exists even without the GDPR, my question is does the GDPR make it law in the EU. In Google Docs if Jill shares a document with Karen and then Jill deletes her account Karen will lose access to the Jill's document. That situation doesn't map to the real world where sharing a document meant Jill sending Karen a physical copy. Personally I consider it a bug given it doesn't fit expectations from the real world. If a document shows up in Karen's files it's Karen's copy of that document. Karen shouldn't have to track which docs are actual copies and which are still considered Jill's.
In any case given it's possible to delete Jill's data from Google is Google required to delete the document from Karen's account even if Karen has made a copy? Where is this covered? It's not really Karen's copy, both are Google's copy. It's on their servers.
This is not trolling. This is trying to understand the GDPR.
- guitarbill 9y agoWhat, just like you don't "own" software, you buy a license which can be revoked at any time? The digital world doesn't map to physical concepts any more. Even before the GDPR, Google has always been able to shutter your account for various ToS violations, and you better hope you had backed it up.
- tokyodude 9y agoWhat happens at google is irrelevant except to demonstrate the issue. The question is whether or not the GDRP REQUIRES that Jill's copies she sent to Karen get deleted from Karen's account.
