GDPR: How to delete privacy information from history/change log.

[Matthew Van Kuyk]

Dears,

For GDPR purposes (right to be forgotten) we are looking in how to remove/obfuscate information in JIRA and specially the history/change log.

additionally, are also log files we need to take in account?

Kind regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Atlassian has created content about GDPR: Server GDPR Support Guide, this page in particular should help you: JIRA: Right to erasure.

This thread may also be interesting: Is it possible to delete History records of an issue like the deletion of comments? .

Hope this helps,

I've just discovered this new add-on: Issue History Item Remover, it looks like it would meet your needs! I'd strongly recommend to try it out on a staging environment (not production) first though.

Glad it helped! There actually is a lot of apps available if you search GDPR on the Marketplace, they're all quite new so better testing them first :)

Hi there,

We have released an app which enables you to anonymize (remove, mask, or encrypt) data - you simply select fields, or other data such as comments, attachments, issue history, and click Anonymize!

Feel free to try it!
