Hi,
So I was wondering about Git and the Right for Rectification. In contrast to the Right to be Forgotten, the Right for Rectification, does not have any exceptions I am aware of.
Correct, good point. But lets have a look at article 16 (Right to rectification):
--- The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. ---
The 'supplementary statement' are the most interesting words here. At places where it is technically impossible to change the data (e.g. in a paper archive or on not-changeable media) it is allowed to make the correction by adding a supplementary statement. This has been practice under old directive and will stay like that under the GDPR. Git is an example of a non-changeable medium. So adding a statement (read commit) with the correct information should be enough.
