Abstract
After publishing data on the Internet, the data publisher
loses control over it. However, there are several situations where it is
desirable to remove published information. To support this, the European
Union proposed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
which states that providers must remove the data when the corresponding
owner requests it. However, the data might already have been copied
by third parties. Therefore, Article 17 of the GDPR includes the regulation
that the provider must also inform all third parties about the
users request. Hence, the providers would need to track every access,
which is hard to achieve. This technical infeasibility is a gap between
the legislation and the current technical possibilities. To close this gap,
we propose a novel service which gives the data owner the possibility to
inform simultaneously all providers about her removal request.
