- geoduck14 5y agoIf you are hosted on AWS, it is really easy to delete your data. Also, you can encrypt it with keys that they will NOT use to decrypt. The data will also NOT leave the region (or country) that you specify
- mnahkies 5y agoIs the "NOT" due to process, or technical constraints? Because it's very easy to make an exception to normal process, if the right people are asking
- sleavey 5y agoWhat guarantee do you have that Amazon will delete it when you tell them to, though? It doesn't even necessarily come down to whether you trust Amazon ethically and legally, but also whether you trust their internal processes. Shredding the data on your own hard drive gives you a pretty good guarantee. Drilling a big gaping hole through it afterwards gives you an even better one.
