Right to Erasure

• The GDPR introduces a right for individuals to have personal data erased.
• The right to erasure is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’.
• Individuals can make a request for erasure verbally or in writing.
• You have one month to respond to a request.
• The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.
• This right is not the only way in which the GDPR places an obligation on you to consider whether to delete personal data.
