Speaking of GDPR, I, like many others, am a little bit confused. I've read parts of the legislation but not all of it, so perhaps somebody here can help me out. Moving towards slightly more delicate issues (compared to tracking someones browsing habits), in relation to the right to be forgotten, if I make a request to Equifax and Experian to remove all personal identifiable information they hold about me, will this actually be possible? Will my bank then contact me for consent to pass my data back over to them? Will I be able to open a new bank account in the future if Experian and Equifax delete my data? How would this whole legislation deal with something like this? |

1. All third parties that a site might pass information to must be listed.
2. The site is responsible for ensuring all the third parties it passes information to support a way to delete that information. So if you ask them to delete something, they have to forward that request to third parties, who then have to delete what was provided by that site. The site is liable, so they have to make sure they have contracts covering this with any third parties they would pass the information to.
3. The deleted information by the third party only has to be the information from that site, not every site.
4. There are a number of exceptions specifically involving things like baking, especially if you have a legal, signed contract that obviously cannot be erased with the click of a button. So specifically in the case of Equifax and Experian, its unclear.
5. I am not a lawyer, disregard everything I said lololol.
