Right to be Forgotten

Last updated: 11/07/2025

Try This Teaching (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring you can exercise your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This policy sets out how you may request the erasure of your personal data (commonly referred to as the “right to be forgotten”).

1. What is the Right to be Forgotten?

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example if:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected

  • You withdraw your consent (where consent was the lawful basis for processing)

  • You object to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest to continue

  • Your data was unlawfully processed

  • Your data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation

2. How to Make a Request

If you wish to exercise your right to be forgotten, please contact us by email or post using the details provided below. Please include:

  • Your full name

  • Contact details (e.g. email address)

  • Details of the data you wish to have erased

  • Proof of identity (to ensure we do not erase data from the wrong person)

We may ask for additional information to verify your identity or clarify your request.

3. Our Response

Once we have received your request and confirmed your identity, we will:

  • Assess whether the right to erasure applies to the personal data you have identified

  • Respond to you without undue delay and in any event within one month of receiving your request

  • Notify you of any data erased or explain if we cannot comply, for example if we must retain certain data to comply with legal obligations

In complex cases, we may extend the timeframe by up to two further months, and we will inform you if this is necessary.

4. Exceptions

Please note that the right to be forgotten is not absolute. We may refuse a request for erasure if processing is necessary:

  • To comply with a legal obligation

  • For the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims

  • For reasons of public interest in the area of public health

  • For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes (where erasure would seriously impair those purposes)
