Data Deletion

This policy outlines the procedures for individuals to request the deletion of their personal data held by MRT1 Initiative. The policy applies to all personal data collected, processed, or stored by the organization.
2. Request Process
Individuals who wish to request the deletion of their personal data should follow the steps outlined below:
1. Submission : Submit a written request for data deletion to the designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) or the Privacy Officer, if applicable. The request should include the individual's name, contact information, and any relevant details that can help identify the data to be deleted.
2. Verification : The organization may require additional information or verification to ensure the authenticity of the requestor's identity and their right to make the deletion request.
3. Review and Approval : The DPO or Privacy Officer will review the request to ensure it meets the organization's criteria for data deletion. If the request is valid, it will be approved, and the deletion process will be initiated.

Once a valid data deletion request is approved:
1. Identification : The relevant data will be identified and located across the organization's systems, databases, and backups.
2. Deletion : The data will be securely and permanently deleted using appropriate methods and technologies, ensuring that it is irretrievable.
3. Verification : A confirmation of data deletion will be sent to the requestor, along with any relevant documentation or reports.

1. Legal Obligations : If data retention is required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, the organization may not be able to fulfill the deletion request until the retention period expires.
2. Ongoing Legal Proceedings : If the data is required for ongoing legal proceedings, the organization may temporarily retain the data until the proceedings are concluded.
