The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on the 25th of May 2018. The regulation aims to give individuals control over their personal data by enforcing rules concerning data protection, privacy and the transfer of personal data outside of the EU and EEA areas.
GDPR Article 17 states that 'The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the data controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay'. This is known as 'the Right to Erasure' or 'the Right to be Forgotten'.
This question is asking whether the company gives its users the right to have their personal data erased. This is known as 'the Right to Erasure' or 'the Right to be Forgotten'.
This information can be found in the company's privacy policy. Search the company's privacy policy for keywords such as 'erase', 'erasure', 'delete' and 'forgotten'.
The company may also have a page which specifically addresses their GDPR policies.
If the company clearly states that it does provide its users with the right to have their personal data erased and they state that this only covers its operations in Europe select 'Yes, Europe'.
If the company clearly states that its users have the right to have their personal data erased and states that this covers their users globally select 'Yes, Global'.
If the company does not clearly state in their privacy policy that it gives users the right to erasure, select 'No'.
Please note, 'Unknown' is not a possible option because the company must set out their data processing procedures in their privacy policy. If the company has no privacy policy select 'No' as the answer option.
