Since Friday May 25th 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect across Europe. It governs how data should be processed and provides extensive rights to the person which data is used.

One of these rights is the right to erasure (“right to be forgotton”). If a customer or consumer requests for data deletion this needs to be fulfilled in a reasonable amount of time across all systems.
