It would be interesting to see how this squares with GDPR, the purpose of the latter being to minimize recording of what your computer is willing to send.

We have one dataset we would very much like to delete (discontinued product) but are required by a different EU law to keep. GDPR now also means that we have to provide that data to our customers if they request a copy of all the data we hold on them.

GDPR allows you to collect data if you have a legal need to do so.

It's debatable whether there is a legal need. I prefer 2FA and that should be it. If you are trying to stalk me, I am willing to cancel.
