- ekianjo 7y agoCustomer data is actually an asset so it is worth money. Would be destroying value if it worked this way.
- icebraining 7y agoSo what?
- Someone 7y agoSo, Foo stores your backups, but goes bankrupt. Bar takes over the remaining business, deletes your backups first, and then sends you a new contract? It’s not that they have the data, it’s that they split it from the associated contract. Bankruptcy has little to do with this. It could also happen when Foo stayed in business, or when Bar took over or merged with Foo, without it going bankrupt in-between. The only difference is that, with bankruptcy, there may be a third party that’s guilty of splitting the data from its contract. If Foo is bankrupt, it doesn’t exist anymore, and Bar may buy the data separate from its contract in good faith.
- mgkimsal 7y agoi may not want my data destroyed. and why bankruptcy? why not just change of status? company is sold, or goes public, or goes private, or just changes from llc to c corp, or CEO changes? there's far more things that can happen to a company besides bankruptcy which would cause me to want my relationship and data with the company to terminate.
