What are GDPR processes you have implemented (anonymization, data deletion)?

GDPR processes are a set of procedures and technical solutions aimed at complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In my experience implementing such processes, key stages included:
-
Data anonymization — removing or replacing personal identifiers (such as names, emails, IP addresses) so that data cannot be linked to a specific individual. This can involve hashing with a salt or generating pseudonyms.
-
Data deletion — implementing a "right to be forgotten" mechanism, where a user's personal data is completely removed from all systems and backups upon request.
Example of anonymization in Go:
import (
"crypto/sha256"
"fmt"
)
func anonymizeEmail(email string) string {
hash := sha256.Sum256([]byte(email))
return fmt.Sprintf("anon-%x", hash[:8]) // first 8 bytes of the hash
}
An important aspect is documenting all actions and ensuring auditability to confirm GDPR compliance.
