eliminación permanente
Definition
Eliminación permanente refers to the complete and irreversible deletion of data or records so that no one can recover or reconstruct them. This term comes up most often in privacy law and data protection regulations, where businesses must permanently destroy certain customer information once they no longer have a legal reason to keep it.
Example
If a customer asks you to delete their personal information from your database under a privacy law like GDPR or CCPA, you must perform an eliminación permanente so that their data cannot be restored from a backup or recovered with software tools.
Watch Out
Simply hitting the delete button on a file does not count as eliminación permanente, because that data can often still be recovered, which means you could still be held legally responsible for a data breach.
