GDPR Takedown Request - Unauthorized Data Scraping

#3
by primetrend - opened

Hello,

I am writing to formally request the immediate removal of my personal data from this dataset.

My username has been scraped and included here without my consent. As a resident of the European Union, I am exercising my Right to Erasure under the GDPR.

Please permanently delete my username and any associated identifiers from all files in this repository. I have also forwarded this privacy violation to the Hugging Face Trust & Safety team.

Please confirm when my data has been removed.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and for exercising your rights under the GDPR.

I am writing to confirm that your personal data has been permanently removed from the dataset. Specifically, the dataset previously included a file containing usernames and email addresses of Global Game Jam participants. That file has been deleted in its entirety.

Additionally, the games' dataset has been restructured to remove the field listing participant usernames.

The updated version no longer contains any personally identifiable information.

Hello, - EDIT

Thank you for the quick response and for deleting the file from the current version of the dataset. I appreciate your prompt action.

However, I noticed that the file containing the usernames and email addresses is still fully accessible in the repository's commit history. To fully comply with the GDPR right to erasure, the data must be permanently removed from the version history as well.

Could you please purge the commit history to completely wipe the previous versions of this file?

Please let me know once the commit history has been cleared. Thank you again for your continued help with this!

Best regards,
Prime
