Why Are So Many Smart People So Stupid About the GDPR?

"One example: The requirement for data minimization (Article 5(1)(c)) means that
you must be able to demonstrate that every business process that touches
personal data (and every technology that contributes to it) is designed in such
a way that it uses the smallest possible amount of data for the shortest
possible period of time while exposing it to the fewest possible eyeballs and
ensuring that it is deleted as quickly as possible when the processing purpose
is completed." -- Tim Walters, Ph.D. (Customer Experience and GDPR Consultant,
Writer, and Keynote Speaker)


Possible solution:

1) Create a stateless app. Processed data is never stored, only in memory, which
will be reset when the application terminates.

2) Ensure that only necessary data is used. It's mandatory to provide the
feature of marking data as sensitive data.

3) As many people are going to use the data, ensure to narrow down each
functionality to a specific process.

4) Ensure to " ... implement appropriate technical and organizational measures,
..., which are designed to implement data-protection principles, ..., in an
effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing
in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation and protect the rights of
data subjects" (Article 25(1)). Haskell does a pretty good job isolating
side-effects. If you want to debug, log or simple print, you will have to build
it into the design of the system. No shortcuts allowed.


Example:

Celebrity BBQ event. A lot of well know people will participate at the BBQ. Some
of the guests will not be able to enjoy the chefs main specialty, spareribs,
due to diet or religious views. As we would like to make the event a success for
everybody we will retrieve the necessary data from the A-list guests. As some of
the data is sensitive, we will need to ensure it doesn't get misused by the
staff.
