A company won't delete my data

De stapsgewijze juridische uitleg is nog niet geverifieerd in het Nederlands, en wordt hieronder daarom in het Engels getoond. De interface is in het Nederlands.

  1. Have you already formally asked the company to delete your data?

    No, not yet

Under GDPR Article 17 you have the right to erasure: the company must delete your personal data without undue delay — unless a legal exception applies, such as a legal obligation to keep some records (e.g. invoices under tax law) or defending legal claims. So expectations first: most data can be erased, some may lawfully remain.

Send a written request so there is a record. The company must respond within one month (Art. 12(3)); if it stays silent or refuses without valid reasons, your next stop is the national Data Protection Authority. The generator below drafts the letter for you.
