    At the very least… cant the US implement one of the basic rules from GDPR?

    In simple terms, what data can companies keep?

    Data need to have: OK

    Data nice to have: Not OK

      The US will absolutely not implement anything remotely like GDPR, because that would hurt the profits of a LOT of companies who happen to have a LOT of lobbyists on K street.

      I’d much rather they implement the right to deletion. I know they will get their hands on a ton of data, regardless of how we write the clause. But at least let me delete that data when I want it gone.

          I know, this was inresponse to the other post about which parts of the GDPR to implement. If I had to pick any one feature to carry over from the GDPR into whatever legislation we get on this side of the ocean, I’d pick the right to deletion.

          No matter how often you ask or what the answer is, you likely won’t be able to tell if it has actually been deleted anyway.

          Companies are held to certain expedience standards when it comes to removal. If you request it and the company doesn’t delete within the described maximum time, they will get fined under GDPR.
