Decide whether the deletion promise can go live

You’re the data privacy officer. Your team is in the room. Printed Aug 14, 2026.

A deletion promise becomes more consequential when evidence must span systems designed for recovery as well as use.

Contractual certainty can conflict with the operational limits of retaining resilient legal-work records.

Who you’d be doing this for

“A deletion promise without proof is exactly the kind of risk I can’t explain away.”

Hana Nistor · Global Privacy Director

Owns privacy assurance for a multinational legal department preparing to place regulated matter data into the platform.

What is at stake

Six weeks before launch, 34 of 500 deletion requests lack conclusive proof for at least one recovery or workflow path. You have to judge whether the evidence is strong enough to turn the commitment on as promised.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • contractual launch vs. verified deletion proof
  • recovery resilience vs. data-rights completion
  • vendor assurance vs. internal control maturity
  • speed to commitment vs. irreversible exposure

Why Harvey

At Harvey, this can matter because enterprise legal customers may require proof that sensitive uploaded materials are handled consistently across connected product surfaces.
