This is intrinsically PII data, so there probably ought to be checks to ensure that the person providing the data fully understands how it is going to be used and published. We should warn people that whilst (I assume) they can remove data from our public servers, it will likely live on in 3rd party archives. Also it likely won't be possible to eliminate all copies from ASF repositories, depending on how the data is stored and backed up. > Nick > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
