Stop Companies from Keeping Records of Old, Deleted Personal Data

The Goal. To ban companies from keeping old and deleted user data over the internet.

The Problem. Whether it’s from paying a streaming service subscription, booking a hotel, or ordering pizza, most of us have left sensitive information online at one point or another. It’s not easy to erase our digital footprint when the big companies themselves hold on to our data, despite our efforts to delete them. For instance, Facebook keeps a “backup” of your photos even after deletion or account closure. Just imagine what could happen if hackers happen to mine your other personal information simply because these big companies we trusted refuse to delete them for good.

The Solution. Big companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, to name just a few, should always abide by a user’s request to have our info deleted on their end whenever we delete them on ours. We have our own reasons why we no longer want our information to be accessible, and these companies should respect that. Despite their promises, there is really no guarantee that they can keep our information safe. After all, hackers are getting savvy by the day, and they could always find a workaround to access those sensitive user data.

Whether you own a startup or a growing enterprise, getting cyber insurance is invaluable not just for your own protection, but of those other users who trusted you to keep their personal information safe.
