Which global privacy regulation grants users the 'right to be forgotten'?



The global privacy regulation that grants users the 'right to be forgotten' is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The 'right to be forgotten', formally known as the 'right to erasure' under Article 17 of the GDPR, allows individuals to request that organizations delete their personal data under certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or when the individual withdraws their consent. For example, if a user closes their account on a social media platform, they can invoke their right to be forgotten and request that the platform permanently delete all of their personal data.
