Right to erasure

The right to erasure (the 'right to be forgotten') lets you ask an organisation to delete your personal data — but it is limited by legal retention duties.

Definition

The right to erasure lets you request deletion of your personal data. It is not absolute: where the organisation has a legal obligation or ongoing lawful reason to keep records, it must retain the relevant data.

Why it matters for your business

For a live finance facility we must keep records to run it and meet regulation; we erase what we can and delete the rest once retention ends. See requesting erasure.
