B) Take appropriate measures to notify individuals to whom personal data has
been disclosed by any means and request that they destroy it.
C) Destroy all copies of the personal data stored in the Controller's systems,
including backups, takinginto account anyrelevant regulatory
requirements.
3- Examples of Destruction Techniques:
A) Data Overwriting and Secure Erasure (SE): Data overwriting involves
replacing original data withrandom, meaningless data,renderingthe
original data irretrievable. Secure erasure is a more advanced data deletion
technique than overwriting. It involves issuing a command to the device's
software to delete all data, including data residing in sectors not typically
accessible through standard deletion processes.
B) Data Erasure(without Physical Media Destruction): Thistechnique
involves utilizing a degaussing device to neutralize the magnetic field that
stores data, thereby rendering the data effectively unreadable. Degaussing
is a secure and efficient technique that preserves the physical integrity of
the storage device for reuse, making it the preferred technique for bulk data
erasure operations. However, degaussing is limited to magnetic media and
is not applicable to solid-state drives (SSDs) or flash-based storage.
C) Shredding and Distortion: Shredding assets into tiny shreds and physically
distorting them to render the assets effectively unreadable.
Second: Anonymization
The Controller shall ensure that all direct and indirect personally identifiable
information is irreversibly anonymized, rendering the data subject unidentifiable.
Data that has been rendered anonymous shall no longer be considered personal
