Personal Data Deletion Request

A Personal Data Deletion Request is a document through which someone can request that their personal data be deleted from a company, whether that company is online or not. Personal data includes things like legal name, email, financial information, and more.

People request deletion of their data for many different reasons. They may have once used the company and now they don't. They may have forgotten they gave the company their information. They might be receiving too much junk mail from too many sources and they wish to streamline which of their personal data is out.
