This is not too hard if you do proper engineering work ahead of time and are purposeful about how you move and manage data (step 1 is just not collecting it unless its vital). But the industry encourages us to be very bad about that because we gotta "move fast and break things or you're not gonna make it."

Please quote the exact text of the law that you claim does that. And since the law has been in force for 10 years, perhaps you can point at the website of said body.

Just don't spy on people.
