Objection to marketing and request for erasure

Dear Data Protection Officer,

This concerns the personal data you hold about me under [email protected].

Under Article 21(2) and (3) UK GDPR I object to the use of my personal data for direct marketing, including profiling for marketing. Please stop all marketing to me by post, email, text, phone and online advertising immediately.

Under Article 17 UK GDPR I ask you to erase all personal data you hold about me, unless you are legally required to keep it. If you keep any data, please tell me what and why.

Please confirm within one month that you have done this, and tell any third parties you have shared my data with.

Yours faithfully,

Priya Sharma
