Custom Data Collection

The above procedure deletes personal data collected by default in Jamf Pro (see GDPR Compliance Reference for Jamf Pro for more information). It does not address custom configurations you may have in place to collect data outside of the default collection. For example, some organizations may choose to create user-based smart groups, scope configurations, extension attributes, or custom scripts, or may have previously uploaded VPP codes for a user from a VPP code spreadsheet.

If you have configured these types of custom settings that use or collect personal data, you will need to identify those settings and update them to ensure that personal data is deleted. If you have questions or need assistance, contact your Jamf account representative.

Database Backups

Consider the following when reviewing organizational policies for database backups and retention:
  • Personal data in production instances will be removed when the data controller (i.e., customer) completes the steps necessary for deletion.

  • Personal data may reside in backups that must be retained for contractual, legal, or compliance reasons.

  • Where a request to be forgotten has been completed, personal data on backups may be restored to production; however, the data controller should take steps to honor the initial request and erase the data from production again.

In addition to the above considerations, review organizational policies to ensure the following:
  • Retention rules are in place to ensure data in backups is retained only as long as necessary before being automatically deleted.

  • Technical controls have been implemented to ensure adequate protection over backups.
