Make account GDPRing possible in the account settings

Technically it is indeed an EU law, but it's extremely hard to ensure that someone is actually an EU citizen, and if the Scratch Foundation fails to GDPR a citizen, they may face severe penalties or be banned legally, so it's best safe than sorry.

Because users are not going to use Contact Us as much, the support team will be able to respond to more important requests quicker and help make Scratch a better place.

Also, remember: Contacting the ST is NOT a suitable alternative. It wastes the time of moderators, who should be verifying reported projects, not GDPRing random accounts.

California has a similar law to the GDPR, known as the California Consumer Privacy Act, which has similar provisions of requesting the deletion of personal data and requesting that personal data. It has fines of $2,500 if one unintentionally violates it, and triple that amount if intentional. It's also probably difficult to identify if someone is a resident of California, so the ST would probably still have to apply the law to everyone.

I still think this should require email verification, because making it easier to permanently delete your account with absolutely no chance of getting it back is a recipe for disaster on a website used mostly by children.

I think that the user should have to do email verification and type in their passwords and their usernames twice, since there's no recovery after the account has been deleted.

Fun fact: If you have malware on a Windows NT device, it's possible that deleting system32 will severely damage the malware. It will also damage your Windows install.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

Under GDPR, the company should use and take all reasonable measures in order to verify the identity of a data subject who requests access, in particular context of services and online identifiers.

there is already an option to delete your account, and on top an additional option to delete all of your projects afterwards

GDPR includes evaporizing identifiable data of the requestee/requestor or whatever the term is as long as they are a EU Citizen, although from what I know they must also be in the European Economic Area (EEA).

It's not really the same as a full account deletion.

That doesn't really delete your account. It just hides your content permanently, rather than actually deleting it.

No support. People are stupid and will definitely lose their accounts from this.
And if someone is trying to have their account GDPR'd, you can be fairly certain they would at least know enough to use contact us.

Many people would accidentally GDPR themselves and then contact us would get flooded.

Also, how would GDPR be accessible to people living outside of EU countries? Would the feature just do nothing for people living anywhere else, and how would Scratch know if you truely live in the EU or not?

I think Contact Us would work better for GDPRing

Just because its only legally allowed in one place doesn’t necessarily mean that it can’t be done for others outside of the location.

Contact Us, as others have said, is a better option, but a possible compromise exists.
It could be a “Request GDPR” button, which essentially just sends a Contact Us message, where you talk to a real ST member about it.

Seems like contact us but with extra steps

I think there is actually benefit to requiring people go through a bit of extra effort to GDPR their accounts. First, the Scratch Team is a bit overworked, and GDPRing accounts seems like it's a manual process, adding to their workload. Requiring users go through a few extra steps ensures that users don't invoke it just for fun. Secondly, a lot of the users on this site are pretty young and don't necessarily think about the long-term consequences of their actions. I could definitely see people GDPRing their accounts just for fun and then being surprised that this means all their projects (and other stuff) are deleted and unrecoverable. By requiring they go through Contact Us and thus making them go through a few extra steps, this helps ensure this is only used by people who actually know what this is all about and the full implications of it and really want it.
