Data that is actively hunted and erased would keep it from being public knowledge. So any publicly accessible locations would need to be secret and hidden.

And yes im used to many opponents and initative passes, I hardly call sniping or tasing one lone guard a "combat", even if it uses combat rules. Im talking about the real fights that lasts at least 3-4 passes or more.

We had a long combat which actually lasted close to 30 seconds in game... it was a brawl against orks, using improvised weapons, unarmed, bats etc. (all with 1 IP). Must have been at around 10 rounds. Think that lasted more than 1 hour at least.

So the difference between hunted and erased and secret and hidden, going by that quote, is what exactly?

I can think of such "justifications" for any way to punish the players and limit their options.
That doesn't mean that sits well with the RAW or fluff, for that matter, too. Or adds anything to the game experience.

So in your classification that "Actively hunted and erased" category does not exist at all? Good going, what else can I say.
