Aka: "Right to be Forgotten" (= personal data has to be deleted when the individual withdraws consent or the data is no longer necessary and there is no legitimate reason for an organization to keep it). AFAIK, interpretations, implementations and practical enforcement of this directive widely varies by country, but still - it will be better to have such functionality in the system, just to be on the safe side ;). But I agree it's perhaps too easy to destroy patron data by mistake using this tool. Maybe "Move these patrons to the trash" should be default option instead of "Permanently delete these patrons"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
