The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that was introduced by the European Union (EU) in May 2018. It applies to all EU member states and regulates the processing of personal data by organizations within the EU, as well as organizations outside the EU that offer goods or services to individuals within the EU. The GDPR aims to protect the privacy rights of individuals by setting out specific requirements for how personal data must be processed, stored, and protected by organizations. It also gives individuals certain rights over their personal data, such as the right to access, rectify, and delete their data, and the right to object to its processing under certain circumstances.

Personal data under GDPR is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, also known as a data subject. This can include a person’s name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, identification number, location data, IP address, or any other data that can be used to identify the person. It can also include sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, genetic data, biometric data, health data, or sexual orientation. The GDPR applies to the processing of personal data that is carried out by organizations within the EU, as well as organizations outside the EU that offer goods or services to individuals within the EU.

Yes, under the GDPR, you have the right to request that your personal data be deleted, also known as the “right to be forgotten”. This right applies in certain circumstances, such as when the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, when the data subject withdraws their consent, or when the data subject objects to the processing of their data.
However, this right is not absolute and is subject to certain exemptions. For example, a company may be required to keep certain data for legal or regulatory reasons, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If your request for erasure is refused, the company should provide you with an explanation for the refusal.
If you wish to exercise your right to be forgotten, you can make a request to the data controller, who is responsible for processing your personal data. The data controller is required to respond to your request within one month and should provide you with an explanation if they refuse your request. If you are not satisfied with the response you receive, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
