The 'Right to Be Forgotten', also known as the Right to Erasure, refers to the principle where individuals can request that an organization remove their personal information under specific circumstances. This right is a key component of certain privacy laws, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The term is distinct from a 'Data Retention Directive', which mandates the keeping of data for a period, and an 'Archive Policy', which refers to guidelines for storing historical records and does not relate to an individual's right to have their data deleted.
