How does Data Cloud handle an individual's Right to be Forgotten?

1. Deletes the specified Individual record and its Unified Individual Link record.

2. Deletes the specified Individual and records from any data source object mapped to the Individual data model object.

3. Deletes the records from all data source objects, and any downstream data model objects are updated at the next scheduled ingestion.

4. Deletes the specified Individual and records from any data model object/data lake object related to the Individual.

The correct answer is: Deletes the specified Individual and records from any data model object/data lake object related to the Individual.

The cornerstone of the Right to be Forgotten principle is to ensure that individuals can request the deletion of their personal data under certain circumstances. Choosing to delete the specified Individual along with records from any data model object or data lake object related to that Individual effectively addresses this right. When an individual makes a request under the Right to be Forgotten, it’s essential that all instances of their data across various data structures are removed. By focusing on both data model objects and data lake objects, this approach encompasses the entire ecosystem where the individual's data might reside. This comprehensive deletion ensures that no remnants of the individual's data remain accessible within the data environment, adhering to legal and regulatory requirements associated with data privacy. This option captures the holistic aspect of data erasure, which is central to fulfilling the obligations tied to data subject rights. By ensuring that both types of objects related to the Individual are addressed—whether they are structured in a data model or stored in a data lake—this choice provides complete compliance aimed at protecting the individual's rights concerning their personal information.
