kustutustoimingutele

Kustutustoimingutele is an Estonian grammatical form used in IT and data governance contexts to refer collectively to delete operations. It represents the allative/dative plural form of kustutustoiming, meaning a delete operation, and is used when pointing to the delete actions as a set or target of an action or policy.

Etymology and form: The term is built from kustutustoiming (delete operation). The genitive plural form is kustutustoimingute, and by adding the allative plural suffix -utele it becomes kustutustoimingutele, which conveys “to the delete operations” or “for the delete operations.” This construction is typical in Estonian for indicating direction toward a group of actions.

Usage: In Estonian IT, information security, and data protection documents, kustutustoimingutele appears when describing requirements, controls, or logs related to data erasure. It may be used to label sections or statements concerning the set of actions performed to remove data, comply with deletion requests, or enforce data retention and destruction policies.

Relation to related terms: It is closely connected to kustutamine (deletion) and kustutustegevus (delete activity/process). In practice, kustutustoimingutele helps specify the scope of deletion-related procedures and the entities involved in data erasure.
