Granular erasure, alteration or anonymization of data

[dejliglama]

In the Erasure tool, we need to give the possibility of only erasing, altering or anonymizing parts of the data.

This means that an erasure request, need to output all data in editable fields along with buttons to anonymize that one piece of data - or completely delete it.

-- Granular erasure of data
People may want to delete just some part of the datas (maybe a second address, the family status, their phone number) and let other data to be processed for their sake (they want to be in your interest based newsletter).

Thanks @dejliglama for the suggestion.

I'm going to close this as maybelater as it sounds more appropriate to be implemented as a plugin rather than core. In core, the erasure tool should be as simplistic as possible. As well users who've requested their data and see specific items they want to be erased over the entirety of their data can either login to remove those items from their profile or request specific erasure from the admin.

Agreed. It was created during the early stages of developing the GDPR tools.

I've seen that addons like Woo have implemented parts of this idea as part of its integration into the gdpr tools.
