"hey, how's the GDPR/'right to be forgotten' functionality going?"

"I think dev1 basically completed it before he quit... But it's been 2 months so I'm not sure."

"Well... What's the worst that could happen."

Now that is a boring life.

@Oktokolo not so much boring as very sweaty when you have to restore a bunch anonymized data for active customers 🤷‍♂️

@hobblin if you can restore it the forget function was even more broken.

@Voxera nothing's every really forgotten, backups exists for reasons 😁

@hobblin
Be careful about eternal backups though. You have to get rid of data you aren't allowed to keep anymore at least eventually...

@Oktokolo for sure... Luckly we discovered this problem within our backup window 🙂

@hobblin
Lucky bastard ;)

@hobblin with gdpr that can be very expensive if the backups are stored for to long.

Gdpr gives some wiggle room but only as long as you can motivate it.

If its determined that you are deliberately sidestepping the rules its quite harsh.

@Voxera yeah, im aware, i was quite involved in that process at the time (this was at a previous employment)
