If I ask a company to delete and never store any information about me again, can they store that? 🤔

Yes. Storage is allowed if there is a good reason, eg a list of ex employees who got fired for stealing stuff.
At least thats what i heared.

They could hash something like your email or other identifying info and store that in a table, if they store data they could check it against the hash table and block it.

@wiwe2210 in the EU there would be no need for that since you have to give them permission to store/use your data in the first place.

Thus we don't store hashes of customer emails for customers who have told us not to store their data, we store the actual email addresses for customers who have given us explicit permission to store their data and don't save anything related to anyone else

@wiwe2210 @ItsNotMyFault I'm just saying that there are ways to exclude storing data on a user without storing data related to them. Said method is mostly used for banning users from a server without storing any personal data at all

Was talking about this yesterday with my boss and I work on a pretty big e-commerce form and the message I received all be it slightly misinterpreted was

You can store data if it directly pertains to the company so for us, anything to do with sizes product names for guarantees in an I frame instance which gets sent of to aws, and then it goes travelling else where and is never saved on our server.
