I suggest that you consult a lawyer.

EDIT: In my layman's opinion pressing that button is an explicit request to delete the data. Also the kind of behavior you are suggesting is not private-by-default and goes against the spirit of the law. I don't think that a judge will look kindly on it.

I am not a lawyer. I am not your lawyer. I suggest that you consult a lawyer.

Yes, but right now the law does not apply. In the future they probably will change 'delete' to 'hide' or even get rid of this option and then the rest of what I said applies. I incorrectly said that "they're" instead of "they'll be".
