How do you deal with deletion requirements in a immutable database? Like how do you delete personal data when requested?

The fastest approach is to just zero out the data. Alternatively you can rebuild the entire database while preserving only the data accessible in the latest copy of the db (kinda similar to SQLite's VACUUM command).
