Which article of the GDPR addresses the Right to Be Forgotten?

Article 15
Article 17
Article 20
Article 25

The correct answer is: Article 17

The Right to Be Forgotten, also known as the Right to Erasure, is specifically addressed in Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This article provides individuals with the ability to request the deletion of their personal data under certain circumstances. These circumstances include situations where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, the consent on which the processing is based has been withdrawn, or the individual objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing. Article 17 outlines the responsibilities of data controllers to comply with such requests and the conditions under which they are required to erase personal data. This right is crucial in empowering individuals to regain control over their personal information and ensures that data processing adheres to the principles of GDPR. The other articles mentioned in the choices do not pertain to the Right to Be Forgotten. Article 15 covers the Right of Access, Article 20 addresses the Right to Data Portability, and Article 25 involves Data Protection by Design and by Default. Each of these articles highlights different rights and principles under GDPR, but Article 17 is the specific provision that focuses on the Right to Erasure, making it the correct choice for this question.
