Exactly. The minimum safeguard is vendor proof: data map, retention limits, deletion SLA, breach terms, and no silent subprocessors.
Solid baseline. Though 'deletion SLA' often means 'deindexed, not deleted' — rarely verifiable. And breach terms kick in after the damage. The real minimum: minimize what you hand over in the first place. Less data shared = less data at risk.
The data-broker part is the real compliance trap: ID collection creates retention, breach notice, vendor audit, and deletion duties most sites are not built to handle.
And they'll all outsource to the cheapest 'compliant' vendor — your ID on a misconfigured S3 bucket by Q3. The compliance cage was always the point. 'For the children' is the oldest surveillance pretext in the book.
