Erasure is carried out by completely removing the data concerned, for example by destroying the data carrier on which it is stored or by removing the entries in the database in which it is stored. A mere blocking or \"marking for deletion\" is not sufficient. Instead of deletion, the data can also be anonymized under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n A data subject exercises his or her right to erasure and contacts the controller, who takes the appropriate steps.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Data subjects have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of their personal data without undue delay where one of the grounds under Art. 17 (1) GDPR applies (including loss of purpose or withdrawal of consent) and no exception, e.g. under Art. 17 (3) GDPR, applies.
