Laws don’t mean shit without enforcement.
In my country, you have a legal right to your medical data. I asked for it, it got denied: too much work. I could get 6 non-related pdf files on a USB stick I had to pay for.
A friend of mine worked for a medical temporary employment agency. In accordance with EU GDPR law, upon request of deletion of data, you are legally required to do so. He told me he wasn’t allowed to by his boss, he had to reply with “yup we deleted all of it” while in fact they would keep it. I assume many companies do this.
Hope they get absolutely reamed by the regulator.
I wouldn’t hold my breath
I’m still being treated there, so don’t want to start a fight.
My friend signed an NDA so reporting it would get him into trouble.
So they just get away with it.
I worked on a whistleblower software. Based on the regulations we had to develop for your friend should be able to submit their whistleblower information and still be employed without the employer knowing who submitted the information
There’s strong whistleblower protections in the EU
My friend signed an NDA so reporting it would get him into trouble.
Uh, does an NDA still count if it’s about illegal stuff? Wouldn’t following the NDA in that case be some kind of conspiracy to commit fraud?
I feel like reporting illegal behavior supercedes any contact you signed, but I’m not a law person
I feel the same way, but it’s not my ass getting the legal hassle.
Some told you they deleted it
They did! The field has_been_deleted to Yes for all the records!
My uni exam registration website was selling telemetry so I emailed them asking to opt out, and they deleted my exam records :3
that’s so cute :3
No <3
Wow, a 515 page report from McDonald’s…
“Hey why am I on this website, delete me” “Sure, we’ll delete you, thank you for doing the 10,000 pages of opt out paperwork!” “./ingest_florida_counties_public_records.sh” “Hey why am I on this website, delete me” “Sure, we’ll delete you, thank you for doing the 10,000 pages of opt out paperwork!”
And repeat.
Surely that’s enough to warrant an investigation and billions of dollars in fines. Surely…?
If only these corporations wouldn’t be paying our elected officials.
“a person on our customer success team”
🤮
this is intentional, make no mistake. the decision has consciously been made to handle things like this
