--- Comment #4 from Jacek Ablewicz <abl at biblos.pk.edu.pl> ---
Additionally, in EU countries - ability to permanently remove patron personal
data from computer systems may be actually required by law, as mandated by EU
Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC (to be replaced in 2016 by even more strict
version). 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"?
