- jb775 6y ago> We will use the information you provide to process and to maintain a record of your request. What a paradox...In order to delete your records, they create records on you
- tzs 6y agoFor data on people in the EU, that's essentially required to comply with GDPR. That's because of backups. GDPR doesn't really say if handling a deletion request just requires deleting from your live databases or if you also have to through your backups and delete from them too. I didn't save the link, but at least one country's privacy regulator has clarified that deletion requests do not apply to backups, but if the backup is ever restored you have to delete any restored records that had been subject to a deletion request. Hence, the need to maintain a record of deletion requests in sufficient detail to re-delete those records if they ever come back.
- ehsankia 6y agoI had no idea who or what Dataminr was before this, but I recently started a simple Twitter bot [0], and noticed they were crawling every single link I posted multiple times, even though I explicitly disallow in my robots.txt. Their User-Agent just says to contact them, and there didn't seem to be a way to get them to stop, so I just banned their user agent from my servers. It is scary how little information there is about these random companies like Clearview AI or this that just gobble up everything online with no care. https://twitter.com/CatalogScanner https://twitter.com/CatalogScanner
