While I am generally not pro-active in insuring my privacy (I'm quite beholden to Google services), the idea of a 3rd party deleting my data, yet keeping the information their algorithms extracted from it bothers me.
How would I prove the results they generated were wrong? What if the results have been collected over months or years, and now the Credit Agency see's me as a high risk? The data used as input to those algorithms is gone now (yay Privacy & Right to Be Forgotten). How are you going to prove that it was an error and should be removed? I'm not even sure what data they were collecting.
Moving forward, what if governments worked this way: your data is only on our systems momentarily, and then removed. Behind the scenes, you've been tagged as a high risk because of an error in the algorithm, and now you are no longer able to purchase a plane ticket.
How will you correct that situation?
It would be like an e-voting system that "recorded" the vote and then destroyed the actual input/ballot. It flipped every 3rd or 4th vote, but there's no feasible way to prove and fix it.
So, either keep both my data that you used as input and the information you generated, or keep neither.
