How does iDBQuery handle GDPR data-subject access and erasure requests?

iDBQuery is designed to support your GDPR data-subject requests by keeping personal data in your own systems, where you locate, export, or erase records as the controller. Because iDBQuery queries in place and does not force-copy your data, there is no separate hoard of personal data to reconcile when a request arrives.

Data-subject requests - access, rectification, and erasure - are the controller's responsibility, and iDBQuery is architected to make them easier rather than harder.

  • Data stays with you - iDBQuery queries your sources in place, so the authoritative personal data remains in your databases, which is where you fulfil a request.
  • Fewer copies to chase - because it does not bulk-export your records, there is no shadow copy inside iDBQuery to hunt down when someone asks to be forgotten.
  • Faster location - ironically, iDBQuery can help you answer a subject-access request by letting you ask, in plain language, where a person's records appear across connected sources, with each finding cited to its exact source row.
  • Deployment options - on-prem, air-gapped, or EU-region deployments keep personal data within the boundary and jurisdiction you require.

For example, when an erasure request comes in, you delete the records in your source systems as usual; iDBQuery simply stops seeing them, because it read them live rather than storing its own copy. To be clear, this describes architecture designed to support your GDPR obligations - it is not a certification, and you remain the controller. That structural honesty is the point: strong privacy comes from where and how data is processed, backed by RBAC, masking, and encryption in transit and at rest.
