Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

The Right to Erasure, often called the Right to be Forgotten, is a principle that allows individuals to request the removal of their personal information from the internet and databases. It gives people control over their data, enabling them to ask organizations to delete information that is outdated, irrelevant, or harmful. This right is especially important in protecting privacy and can be invoked in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose or when a person withdraws consent for its use. However, there are exceptions, especially for public interest or legal obligations.
