Right to Erasure
Also known as: Right to be Forgotten, GDPR Article 17
A user right under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Article 17) to have their personal data deleted by a data controller when certain conditions are met (e.g., data no longer needed, consent withdrawn, unlawful processing). Implemented in accessible products through features such as revocable consent buttons, account-deletion flows, and transcript purge on request. Accessibility implication: the mechanism for exercising the right must itself be accessible — a hidden form, inaccessible captcha, or keyboard-inoperable delete button effectively denies the right.
