or you could just not do that, and keep control of your own data. Why the hell would I want you to have a vote on whether I can delete my private data, which for some unfathomable reason, someone decided everyone should have a copy of?
In practice, data owners don't have control of their data, sysadmins do. This gets complicated in multi-orgnizational data setups.
