What to do with a right of erasure request?

Hello. I have a workshop menu in my game that players can upload builds to. (These builds are moderated by a team before being shown publicly.)


I have not experienced this problem yet, but I am unsure of what I should do when I eventually meet a right of erasure request from Roblox. The key to a workshop upload is the players userid and then the unix timestamp separated by a - (See an example with the small grey text under the download button in the image). Does this count as holding data to a players userid and has to be deleted? If so, then would I get a list of keys from a datastore that contain the players userid in them?

Yes, you need to delete them.

No, I do not recommend storing data like this because it is hard to delete. As more and more keys are made, the harder it is to find them.

so just merely including the mention of a players userid is bad enough? in the meantime, i have set up a new datastore that returns all of the workshop uploads the player owns so it is easy to remove them quickly, but i am also a little confused over what counts as having to remove a userid or not

If you store any information that associates with the user, whether it be their user ID or username, then you must comply with GDPR policies.
