EDPB Highlights Challenges to GDPR Right to Erasure
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has identified several technical and legal challenges that prevent citizens from effectively exercising their 'right to erasure' under GDPR. The board's findings suggest that complex data storage systems and cross-border processing often make it difficult for companies to fully delete personal data when requested. These hurdles are particularly prevalent in the tech sector, where user data is frequently shared between multiple service providers. To improve compliance, the EDPB intends to provide new guidance to help organizations streamline their data deletion processes.
EU regulators are working to ensure your 'right to be forgotten' is easier to enforce online.
