Forget me !
How many emails do you receive with reminders, incredible news and crazy promotions from companies you are not even in touch with anymore? All that stuff that arrives in your inbox, that you don't read, that you don't open, but that you spam when you're idle on a Sunday night… At the beginning, you opened the emails, you went to the website , go shopping, watch a trip or read an article, but now you are completely on your own. There are even times when you no longer know who this sender is who is driving up the number of unread emails in your inbox.
The definition and explanation of rights are the sole responsibility of the author and cannot replace the texts of European regulations.
The means to be forgotten
Several solutions are available to you:
1- You do nothing
To play dead, we can hope to be forgotten. This is not the best advice, but hey ... The most conscientious will go so far as to be seized with remorse when thinking of all the carbon emitted to send these emails, then the one still emitted to store them on the server of your mailbox, then the one emitted again when you click on it by mistake. In that case, something should be done ...
2- If it rains, you spam them!
Why not… At least it will visually lighten your inbox on winter days, but not carbon emissions.
You exercise your right to object . That's a good idea :-) At least, you should no longer receive these emails. You will nevertheless remain registered in the computer systems of the companies that sent them to you. They will be able to continue to use it for commercial prospecting purposes, for sharing with third parties such as data brokers or as essential raw material for Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
3- You are resolved to no longer have any link with these organizations.
You didn't have one before, why should there be one now, however small? After all, why would you let your data self-service when you no longer need it? In this case, you are entitled to exercise your right to erasure (or right to be forgotten), according to article 17 of European regulations.
The right info
The organization is required to erase your personal data within one month (3 months if the request is complex). Unfortunately, the regulations do not specify whether the associated data must also be erased ... Also, we advise you to ask for it explicitly in your request; it doesn't cost you anything.
Remember to recover your data before it is erased by exercising your right of access or portability .
Once your right to be forgotten has been applied, make sure that your data has been erased by the company. Although it may sound silly said like that, know that a lot of companies do not erase our data. Why ? First, because losing customers is never a good thing. Then, because a customer, even inactive, it is exploitable data which is worth gold.
7 good reasons to request the erasure of your data
Your data is used for commercial prospecting purposes
Your data no longer serves what it was originally collected for
The processing of your data is illegal (data published following a leak or hacking, for example)
Your data was collected while you were a minor (blog, forum, social network, website, etc.)
The organization is legally obliged to erase your data
You have exercised your right to object and the organization has not responded to your request
You no longer consent to the use of your data
The limits of the law
The exercise of your right must not prevent:
freedom of expression and information
the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims
a legal obligation (example: keeping specific documents such as invoices, etc.)
You cannot obtain the erasure of your data if it concerns a public interest:
in the domain of health
archiving, scientific, historical or statistical research
As much as the first three limits are understandable, those related to the public interest are very questionable as they can go against individual freedom.
We erase everything, but we don't forget you (not right away)
When you exercise this right with Syned, we proceed in two steps which we believe should be the norm everywhere:
you recover all of your data (not just your personal data)
we erase all of your data from our systems
Why do we send you all your data, not just personal data, but also data associated with your account? Because we believe that this data is yours, i.e. related to your use of Dare. Once collected, you can do what you want with it. We are aware that some will find this superfluous, even cumbersome, but for us, it is a question of applying the principle that we want to see democratized, that of transparency.
When Syned forgets you
Once your data is erased from Dare, don't expect to access your account. Everything is completely erased. We are like that at Syned, a bit binary. If you have placed your trust in us then we continue to honor it until the end, even if you leave us and we would be tempted to resent you a little ...
If you are finally seized with remorse, because it's true that Dare is really nice, nothing prevents you from coming back, from creating an account again, but you will start from zero ... Binarity obliges ;-)
