You receive an erasure request from a customer or former employee. Now what?

Many requesters expect you will simply delete all the personal data you have about them. However, the “right to be forgotten” is widely misunderstood, and it’s more limited than you might think. Under the UK GDPR, data subject rights must be balanced against the needs of others, including the controller.

Join Trevor Fenton, David Reeves and Caroline Mattin as they talk through what an erasure request does – and doesn’t – cover, the exemptions, how to search for personal data you might need to erase, and how you explain to the requester what you’ll erase and why you might refuse to erase everything.

Key Topics Covered
  • How to find the relevant data

  • What the right to be forgotten does (and doesn’t) cover

  • Common exemptions that can apply to data you would have to erase otherwise
