Right to be forgotten
The everyday name for the right to erasure under UK GDPR — the same right, not a separate one.
"Right to be forgotten" is the common alias for the right to erasure under UK GDPR (Article 17). It is the same right, not a separate one: in certain situations you can ask an organisation to delete personal data it holds about you. Whether erasure applies depends on the circumstances. This is general information, not legal advice. The name captures the deeper principle beneath the law — that a person should not be defined forever by information about them — which the right to erasure turns into something you can ask for.
