For data subjects who want their data to be erased, create Right to Be Forgotten
policies to run on individual customer records. Create policies that capture the objects that you
want to be deleted, then manually run the policy on a specific record at any time. Right to Be
Forgotten policies are created at the object level to ensure all customer data is
removed.

To create and use Right to Be Forgotten policies:
ModifyAllData and PrivacyCenter
Available in: all editions
To create a Right to Be Forgotten Policy:
From the Privacy Center dashboard, under Right to Be Forgotten Policies, click
View All.
Next to Right to Be Forgotten (RTBF) Policies, click New.
Enter a name for your policy. The name must be alphanumeric, with no spaces or special
characters. Then click Save & Edit.
Optionally, enter a description for your policy, and save. If you plan to create multiple
policies, we recommend that you add a description.
Under Objects & Fields, choose a parent object to run the policy on. Select only one
parent object for each policy. Switch the object in the policy to Active, and save. If you no
longer want the object’s data to be captured by the policy, switch the object to
Inactive.
Under Action on Data in Org, the Delete option is automatically selected. More options
become available with the Fall ’21 release.
Note All activated objects are marked as Active in
the object list.
After you add and save the parent object to the policy, you have the option to add related
child objects. To see a list of child objects, click the down arrow next to the parent object’s
name. Switch the child objects you want to add to the policy to Active, and save.
Click Activate. You can deactivate your policy at any time, for
example, if you want to save your work but don’t want the policy to be used.
