What to do if a person requests to remove information from a home page?

 

Case description: A company is organising a competition and publishes the results on their home page and on social media. What to do if separate private persons request to remove this information and not publish it? Is the solution with identification codes the only option?

In this case you should receive employee approval for publishing the competition results before the competition, for example, when a person is registering for participation. You should also determine and define the storage period. After the end of this period, you can anonymise data if the information used is not that important and can be replaced with an identification code.
