Right to Erasure Automation (Article 17)
Build an automated pipeline that finds and erases all personal data for a given data subject across all systems within 30 days of request.
Build a Right to Erasure automation pipeline: when a deletion request arrives, the system automatically identifies all personal data for that subject across databases, file storage, logs, analytics, and backups — then erases it within 30 days with a cryptographically signed audit trail. Fixed price €3,600–5,400.
📋Why this service exists
Article 17 grants data subjects the right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'). Organizations must erase data within one month (Article 12(3)). The challenge: data spreads to dozens of systems, logs, analytics pipelines, and backups. Manual erasure is slow, error-prone, and hard to prove. Automated pipelines are the only scalable solution.
