Thank you Francisco!

Yes, we have been cautious with the 'Mine' emails... however, we also want to make sure we are prepared with an 
answer/policy to a formal request for erasure.....

Of course we are watching the new privacy laws pop up around the US and the possible new federal legislation, so that 
may help structure the process in the future.....

Hi Jonathan,

                We have also been receiving an elevated amount of requests that look like these from a company called 
"Mine". However, in every case we have investigated we do not hold any data for the individual that is shown on the 
request.

I don't know if you are experiencing the same thing... Also, when you use the link to see more information it only 
takes you to a sign up page.

Sincerely,
Francisco Chavez

Hi all,

  We are receiving an increasing amount of 'data erasure requests', and I am wondering how other .edu's are handling....

One of the emails that we are specifically receiving is:
____________________________________________
Hello Utulsa 
(utulsa.edu<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Futulsa.edu%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cjonathan-kimmitt%40UTULSA.EDU%7Cdcfc59a3eba34948f3ef08d8c6e6f6f1%7Cd4ff013c62b74167924f5bd93e8202d3%7C0%7C0%7C637478042580249703%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=UAXpAfgk1Wo3S%2ByL%2BxHGwAprMutqraAeEeHb%2F%2BzOg1o%3D&reserved=0>),

My name is *&*&*&*&*&* and I hereby request to erase all personal data that you hold about me.

Please send me an email confirmation of the complete and permanent erasure of the personal data once you have completed 
the erasure process.

My personal details are:
*         Name: *&*&*&*&*&*&*
*         Email: *&*&*&*&*&*&*&

As evidence of my interaction with your company, I received an email on 2018 March 19 that indicates that you are 
holding personal data about me.
Companies: For additional context to complete this DSR, *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Thanks,
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

____________________________________________

Ignoring the validity of the email, I'm curious to if anyone has any specific policies that deal with requests for 
erasure from a data subject, who are not otherwise under GDPR scope.....

Thanks all!



-Jonathan
