Right to Be Forgotten/Erasure

Answer:

The right to be forgotten does not apply when the processing is:

- necessary for rights of freedom of expression or information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law;
- in the public interest or carried out by an official authority;
- for public interest in the area of public health;
- for archiving or research; or
- for legal claims.

So, as you can see setting up a conventional retention period does not give you the right to object to a “erasure” (right to be forgotten request).
