That is not how that works.
The right to keep data beyond when a user requests it's deletion is contingent on it being needed for ongoing business requirements like tax and other audit requirements, not for content.
It's not possible under GDPR to automatically license user submitted content via a ToS or something. If you want to keep content beyond when a user clicks a delete button you would need a contract that provides reasonable compensation for licensing that content.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoDoes the button to delete a Reddit account+posts absolutely qualify as revoking consent? (I am not trying to be combative, I am just unfamiliar with GDPR)
- jpgvm 3y agoThe GDPR itself is purposefully vague but is generally interpreted favouring the user so I would err on the side of it being revocation. We have always treated this way in SaaS startups I have worked at and I don't imagine you would get a more charitable reading of that as a social network an in EU court. That said. IANAL.
