It is true. We built a special "GDPR delete" function that just went and replaced "Tom.Smith@gmail.com" with "nobody@nothing.com" and "Smith, Tom" with "Nobody, Whoever" and birthdate to "01.01.9999" or whatnot, and then we'd filter them out of queries.
You don't have to hard-delete an RDB class to get rid of one record. Just replace anything personal with gibberish.
