Understanding Your Right to Erasure Under GDPR

At BiMPY, we take data protection seriously and are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). One of the key rights under GDPR is the Right to Erasure, also known as the Right to be Forgotten. This allows individuals to request the deletion of their personal data under certain circumstances.

What Is the Right to Erasure?

The Right to Erasure gives you the ability to request that a company removes your personal data when:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
  • You withdraw your consent (if processing was based on consent).
  • The data has been processed unlawfully.
  • You object to data processing, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds to continue.
  • The data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation.

However, this right is not absolute—in some cases, BiMPY may be required to retain certain information for legal, regulatory, or fraud prevention purposes.

BiMPY’s Commitment to GDPR Compliance

As part of our GDPR compliance, we ensure that:

  • Your data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
  • We only collect the necessary information required to provide our services.
  • You have full control over your personal data, including the right to access, rectify, and request its removal.
