Why each option
The 'right to be forgotten' is the specific legal concept granting individuals the right to request deletion of personal data so third parties can no longer trace them.
Right to be deleted is not an official legal term recognized in GDPR or major privacy regulations.
Right to erasure is the official GDPR Article 17 title but does not specifically capture the third-party traceability dimension described in the question.
Right to non-disclosure refers to preventing sharing of information, not to deleting already-held data.
The Right to be Forgotten, codified in GDPR Article 17, grants individuals the ability to request that their personal data be deleted from systems and records so third parties can no longer identify or trace them. It goes beyond simply removing data from one source - it encompasses the broader erasure of traceable personal information across entities. This is the recognized legal and regulatory term used in privacy law.
Right to privacy is a broad foundational concept covering many protections, not the specific mechanism for requesting data deletion.
