Automatic/form to opt-out?

[Redorhcs]

Comms team is preparing for the wave of "please remove me" emails. Is there an automated way to remove students / something on the front-end they can use versus back-and-forth email?

I think the most straightforward solution is to run the scraper very frequently during the opening weeks of classes.

That works, thanks!

Bringing discussion on this one back. Talked to Katherine, explained how people can already hide their data from Yale Face Book. She, however, suggested a Yalies-managed way to hide data from Yalies.

I think, if we do this, we should not bother persisting this information long-term, rather we can just remove it from the current version of the database and clarify that if they want to have it gone long-term they need to also remove it from the Face Book/Directory. That way we don't need to hold on to a bunch of data about what students have removed what from the directory.
