Your right to erasure under the GDPR

The GDPR outlines the data subject’s right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten. It gives each data subject the right to request that a controller erase the subject’s personal data. It also requires the controller to comply with any such request “without undue delay” as long as one of six specific legal grounds applies. On top of this, it states that in cases where the controller has made personal data public, the controller must reach out to any other controller who is processing the data and inform them about the request for erasure so that the appropriate steps can be taken. Finally, the article lays out several exceptions where the right to erasure does not apply. These include instances when processing of data is necessary for “exercising the right of freedom of expression and information,” for “compliance with a legal obligation,” or for “the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.” At Quarry Cottage, we are committed to fully complying with the rules under the GDPR and will action any requests without undue delay.
