Explanation

The right to be forgotten is a principle of the GDPR that grants data subjects the right to request the erasure of their personal data from a data controller under certain conditions. However, there are some exceptions to this right, where the data controller can refuse to erase the personal data if it is necessary for a legitimate purpose. One of the exceptions is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, where the personal data is required for the data controller to assert, pursue, or protect its legal rights or obligations.
