What is the 'right to be forgotten'?
The right to be forgotten (also known as the ‘right to erasure’) allows individuals to get their data deleted from MoneyGram systems. The right only applies in the following circumstances:
The organization no longer needs your data for the original reason they collected or used it for.
You initially consented to the organization using your data but have now withdrawn your consent. You have objected to the use of your data, and your interests outweigh those of the organization using it.
You have objected to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes. The organization has collected or used your data unlawfully. The organization has a legal obligation to erase your data. The data was collected from you as a child for an online service.
However, MoneyGram can refuse to erase your data in the following circumstances:
When the company is legally obliged to keep hold of your data, such as to comply with financial or other regulations
When the company is carrying out a task in the public interest
If MoneyGram proves that your interests do not outweigh the company’s legitimate interests
When keeping your data is necessary for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.
