No. Losing data is just as bad from a GDPR perspective.

  Oh, really? Can you actually be fined for destroying disks containing customer information?
  • pilsetnieks 6y ago
    Yes, deletion also counts as data processing. Unauthorized data processing in this case.

    Yes! Accidental loss is a data breach, see page 7ff of http://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/document.cfm?doc_id=47741 http://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/document.cfm?doc_id=47741

      Interesting, they seem to call this an “availability breach”; of course, they require disclosure if it affects people. Do data storage providers need to essentially SLA, then?
