you can't instantly delete user data because of safety/liability reasons
- valbaca 4y agoArticle 17 of the GDPR would disagree. """ “The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay” if one of a number of conditions applies. “Undue delay” is considered to be about a month. """
- cronix 4y agoDoes that include data contained in their x years of backups?
- Someone 4y agoWhat companies keep x years of backups (for any x > 1, possibly even ½)? I don’t think that’s worth much to any company. Better make sure your recent backups are good than spend effort on keeping such old backups around. For accounting/tax purposes, you need data up to typically 7-ish years ago, but isn’t that data typically online nowadays so that it will end up in today’s backup? Even if they still have the bits from an old backup, they should have thrown away its encryption key.
- Symbiote 4y agoYes, so it's important to distinguish between backups and archives. If you're keeping data for years, it's an archive and not a backup.

- btgeekboy 4y agoThat doesn’t seem to contradict what the parent comment suggests.
