Frequently asked questions
Is this erasure request legally binding?
A document like this is binding when the parties agree to it (and sign where required). Whether each clause is enforceable depends on your local law, so have important agreements reviewed by a lawyer.
Must the company always delete my data?
Not always — they can keep data they need for a legal obligation, legal claims, or certain public interest reasons. They must explain any refusal.
Does this stop marketing too?
Yes — objecting to direct marketing is an absolute right, and deletion requests should also stop it.
