Retrospective · Reference date: 2026-05-26
The May update of the EDPB case digest covers objection and erasure. External experts prepared it, rather than the Board itself.
Editorial perspective
For your own records, separate three details: what you requested, when the message was sent, and what reply arrived. An acknowledgement is not confirmation of deletion. Our working principle is to keep the history visible and label unanswered questions as open. Keep copies of your own messages too.
This retrospective was prepared on 6 October 2026. It describes the topic at that time; later developments are not fully covered.
