I imagine the dr example being downright dangerous - it's vital that they know what they've given you and exactly who you are.

I assume that (should it turn out like that) there will be exceptions such as Drs, the judicial system, the education system, etc.

I think that authentication issues and concerns will limit remote access to potentially sensitive data held by Drs, Banks, etc.

But with organizations located anywhere in the country, remote access is often the ONLY feasible approach.

Steve, fyi, HIPAA does allow you to request your medical records from your physician, and although you can't remove information, you can set limits on who they're allowed to discuss it with. About the only thing a patient can't see are psychotherapy notes.

I would agree in allowing customers to remove data they don't want a company to have as long as the company has the right to not do business with the customer. Suppose your bank has information about a car loan you defaulted on and you remove it. The bank should be allowed to not issue credit.

Didn't know that. I don't hit the DR often, but I haven't see much from them in terms of rights changing. The forms don't make it obvious.

My first thought on that is "that would be great" but knowing how ethics rules companies I'm would bet that it would not go the way we would like to. (Did it has ever happen?)

Unless they are doing it properly, why bother when an additional column could be added like "RequestDeletionFromCustomer" for instance and flag this for inactivity but the data still remain there (would solved the data warehouse problem by the way).

From a BI perspective it would be much more interesting knowing that the customers want to remove those precise sensitives data. It makes that "more valuable" when data mining.

My 2 cents.

.. much like gTalk's "Off the record"

my coworkers have posited that it means "revoke my access to" and that status makes it generally more interesting for NSA, or google's AI, or whomever is processing it in the future.

I doubt anything google has ever actually goes away, they just implement rules to make it harder to find. They started (after all) as a search engine 🙂

I hope that Google isn't implying they are removing data and then keeping it. My guess is they remove the references from my account, but they keep some type of anonymous, gross metrics on what is searched for no matter what.

I'm sure if Google is flagging this and not removing it someone will sue them about it.

Very true, and their "Buzz" service hitting the news over here is a great example of them showing off how much data they have and having to be taken to court just to stop presenting it to everyone!

I doubt that many organizations (including the government) actually delete the material they're supposed to. They just no longer admit to it's existence.

I approved jay way of thinking.

However to avoid all that mess, in the first place, if that info should not go on the web or feel that it shouldn't, then don't use this service, find something else to suite your needs.

In other word if you are free with the idea that everyone can see and use that info than go on.

Once data hit the web, I believe most of that will live for a very long time... (eternity ?)

Ben Moorhouse SSCrazy Points: 2385 More actions · Answer 13

It's not always in our control though which can be frustrating.

For example, when people "invite their friends" to use a service through the service itself.

I don't see any search history in my dashboard, how do you get to that?
