IANAL but I got confirmed several time that you can soft delete if all fields are then anonymized, the law does not care about the concept of database row as long as the PII is deleted
- Detrytus 3y agoIf you anonymize data then it isn't soft delete anymore as you cannot un-delete it. What you are describing is more suited to generating test data for machine learning algorithms, or simply for developers that need to set up db instance in DEV environment.
- allan_s 3y agoYes i agree, my point was not clear. I meant to adress their "due to rgpd you are obliged to delete row so you are back again with the foreign key constraint problem" which is a often misunderstanding of developers that think that the "delete" meant by the law is bijective to a sql DELETE statement
