GDRP: revoke consent process

Hi guys,

We are working in how we can proceed when a user request the revoke consent of their data. So is Marketo implementing a feature (if not done yet), to obfuscate a record or set it as read-only or similar?

The idea goes beyond that only mark it as unsubscribed, but to set it disabled or read-only.

Thank you!

Regards,

Raul

The response to this is not obfuscation or read only, it's anonymization. When someone asks to be removed, you really need to be able to remove any way to recognize that person, so making it read-only is not good enough. Obfuscation or deletion would have the drawback to also remove the data from all reports.

And as far as I know, Marketo isn't working on any new features to help us become more GDPR compliant by May 25 (most of their engineers are tied up in working on the new UX).  Instead, it's up to each customer to create the customizations, processes, etc. required for compliance.

Agreed with Nicholas, if you cannot anonymize, you will have to delete it. Keeping the data, even "read only" is a breach of the regulation.
