Amazing how you're so quick to jump on this given the plethora of Brexit posts that flooded the Lounge in past weeks.

I keep trying but it comes out as "bubble handword", "rubble banded", mubble planted", etc. Dunno what the problem is.

Same argumentation as in Europe; if you're against, then you must be an idiot.
Still, enjoying the show, where even judges spout their politcial views

Correlation of Polling - US Presidential Run[^] If this helps - the thread seems to have taken on very active following.
I was at a meeting - I'll just do some catchup.

So for us British, European, maybe even US folks at least, we have something called the Data Protection Act, which ultimately means we "should" be careful with other peoples data and not retain it longer than we need. The thing is, as a software developer, do we know who is responsible for the data contained within the database driven apps we release?
I would say it's whoever owns the app?
What about building apps in-house? The Chief Exec?

Each organisation is obliged to appoint a DP officer who is responsible for policing the systems and procedures in use. But ultimately if there is any breach of the law the organisation as a whole tends to be held responsible. For corporate bodies that means the directors/management, and for charitable bodies it is the trustees.

Can't we at-least trust those with the data?

This general concept is discovered frequently in the group I work in.
We collect operating data, not necessarily personal data, from various pieces of equipment, sensors, meters, etc. And we keep that data... seemingly forever.
We do have some regulatory requirements to hold certain data for 'X' number of years; after that time period, we can LEGALLY dispose/delete the data.
If we delete the data as we are allowed to do, then, in the event of a legal action, we cannot provide data we don't have - which may benefit the company.
However, from the perspective of seeing how something performed over time, we may need more than 'X' number of years of data to see a long term trend... think of very large turbines for example. They may have a service life of 20 to 30 years.
So... it is an interesting topic to say the least.

Thanks for the reply, Time. So, it appears that your team as developers take it upon yourselves to police the data situation?

haha, well, someone will be responsible and effectively have that "role" of custodian, whether they know it or not. I guess we only realise when the xxxx hits the fan.
