Art.17 — Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

Requirement

Data subjects have the right to erasure without undue delay where an Article 17(1) ground applies — for example the data is no longer necessary, consent is withdrawn, an objection is upheld or processing is unlawful — subject to the Article 17(3) exceptions such as legal obligations to retain; where data was made public, reasonable steps must be taken to inform other controllers.

What the engine looks for

Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.

Equivalent controls elsewhere

Matched on shared topics. Satisfying this control usually moves these too.
