The User has the right to obtain the deletion of their personal data as soon as possible in the cases referred to in Article 17 of the Regulation.

Where the Data Controller has made the personal data public and is obliged, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to erase such data, the Data Controller shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or reproductions of, those personal data.

The two preceding paragraphs shall not apply to the extent that such processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the Data Controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Data Controller;
