What Does the Right to Erasure Entail in Toxicology?
In toxicology, data collection is essential for conducting research, assessing chemical safety, understanding exposure risks, and developing public health recommendations. The right to erasure means that individuals, such as study participants or patients whose data are collected and analyzed, can request the deletion of their personal information if it is no longer necessary for the original purpose, if they withdraw consent, or if the data was processed unlawfully.
