A missed deletion request is not just a customer service issue. It may indicate that the company lacks an operational deletion system. Regulators may ask whether the business had assigned responsibility, monitored DROP access, documented request retrieval, processed deletion across systems, coordinated with vendors, and retained proof of completion.
The key question is not only whether deletion occurred. It is whether the company can prove the deletion workflow operated correctly.
