No, sorry. Promising to permanently delete data without doing it is the madness and should be illegal if it's not already. Hide the permeantly delete for privacy just a bit further and offer a soft delete to the user then for the normal case.
- Bitu79 12d agoExactly! This is my problem too, because they are lying. Promising to permanently delete data without actually doing it is insane, and it should be illegal if it isn't already. Hide the permanent deletion a bit more for privacy reasons, and normally offer a soft delete to the user. But they are just lying!
- jasonkester 11d agoBut that's silly. If you don't trust a website with your cat photo, don't upload your cat photo the website. As I said above, the only thing my site does with your cat photo is show it back to you when you ask to look at it. No training. No selling your data to anybody. All I'm doing is storing it because you asked me to, and showing it to the people you ask me to. You can certainly ask me to stop showing it to people. But please don't get all excited about how your rights have somehow been violated. The fact is, people click delete buttons without thinking about it. Those people get way more mad when they can't undo that delete than you are now.
- eckelhesten 11d agoThat’s not silly. Your rhetoric is. “I don’t get it, why do people expect a promise to permanently delete your things to akshually do just that” Such a goofball stance on the subject tbh.
- Bitu79 11d agoTHX!!!!!
- Bitu79 11d agoThis is honestly a foolish response, but I'm still not going to flag you. In fact, I'll even upvote your comment so you get a point. I'm sure you aren't writing this nonsense out of malice—you just genuinely don't understand the issue. Deletion means deletion. There is no such thing as 'we didn't delete it just in case you did it by accident.' That is just a convenient excuse for illegally hoarding user data, and the law strictly forbids it. What is their lawful basis under the GDPR to keep it after I demand deletion? Exactly: none at all.
- bananaquant 11d ago> the only thing my site does with your cat photo is show it back to you when you ask to look at it. No training. No selling your data to anybody Yeah, right. > You can certainly ask me to stop showing it to people. There is much better solution: add author's websites to dnsmasq, so they stop resolving: http://www.expatsoftware.com/ http://www.expatsoftware.com/ http://www.expatsoftware.com/articles http://www.expatsoftware.com/articles https://stravaeger.com/ https://stravaeger.com/ http://www.twiddla.com/ http://www.twiddla.com/ https://www.s3stat.com/ https://www.s3stat.com/ I only wish there was a centralized registry of websites that are controlled by parties that have galavant attitude if not deliberate misunderstanding of what does the right to privacy mean.
- Bitu79 11d agoTHXX
- UncleMeat 11d agoIt is permanently deleted. It just takes a little while.

- Rygian 11d agoIt's already illegal in Europe, as long as the data falls into the PII category.
- Bitu79 11d agoTRUE!!!!
