  1. If you store the data of others:

    1) you are responsible for protecting it,

    2) you are responsible for determining if harm could be caused if this data leaked,

    3) and you are responsible for deleting it properly once you do not need to retain it anymore, especially if it could cause harm.

    This is a moral obligation and, in many circumstances, can also be a legal one.

  6. People who use social media other than Mastodon :twitter: :facebook: :meta: :

    If you are still using some [BigCorpSocial™️] social media account(s),
    I highly recommend maintaining a good data privacy hygiene on there. Especially because of all the data collected from these platforms, most recently, infamously, for scanning all your posts to feed For-Profit-AI-Machine™️

    One important step to improve your data hygiene is to delete the older posts that are no longer useful to you (you can do this automatically on Mastodon by the way) :nes_fire:

    Many [BigCorpSocial™️] have rendered this task more difficult recently by removing features previously provided to third-party developers.

    BUT there is a fantastic desktop app developed by @micahflee coming up for this with a workaround! :awesome:

    Semiphemeral! :birdsite:✨

    Semiphemeral will make it possible for you to delete your older posts from your [BigCorpSocial™️] accounts, according to your preferences.

    I don't often recommend tools like this,
    but this one is a great one:

    Privacy by Design ✅
    From a trustworthy source ✅
    Top practices for data minimization ✅
    Runs locally ✅

    I highly recommend it to anyone with social media accounts outside of the Fediverse.

  7. Gentle Privacy and Security Reminder
    for Organizations 🔒🗑:

    One of the easiest way for your organization to not have data stolen in a data breach, is simply to not have this data.

    One of the easiest way to save your organization future headaches and costs is to simply delete thoroughly the data you do not need anymore as soon as you do not need it anymore.

    Whenever possible, it's even better to not collect it at all in the first place.

    You might need to retain some data of course, but when an incident occurs, you will greatly reduce the harm, damage, and cost if you keep only the minimum data required.

    You cannot be held accountable for the data you simply do not have.

    Keep this in mind! ✔️✨

  8. #ConsumerReports has created an application called #PermissionSlip which sends requests for #OptOut or #DataDeletion based on your state laws.

    I love CR and this is an awesome service they’ve created. I used it, it has a list of about 4 dozen companies and some requests to data aggregators. They send requests to the appropriate departments.

  9. As a data protection lawyer, I often seen companies push data retention or data deletion policies to the bottom of the list.

    It's sometimes seen as less important, because customers don't typically see this.

    However, a recent fine by the CNIL shows there are real risks in delaying and never quite getting round to it. 😬

    In this instance, Discord (a popular chat platform for gamers 🎮) received a fine over 800,000 euros for:

    ❌ Not having a written data retention policy
    ❌ Not having specific retention periods or criteria for determining retention periods
    ❌ Failing to ensure data protection by default in the way the application sat in the background on Windows platforms
    ❌ Failure to ensure security by not setting strong enough password criteria
    ❌ Failure to carry out data protection impact assessments.

    If you are a company dealing with customers in the EU or UK, there is no better time than now to be elevating data retention/deletion on your 'to do' list. ✔️
