Can we somehow allow contacts to delete themselves from our CRM? I.e. a right-to-be-forgotten functionality?

Hi @JHagelfors,

HubSpot has this [GDPR-compliant delete function](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/how-do-i-perform-a-gdpr-compliant-delete-in-hubspot), which serves to achieve the right to be forgotten, as far as I understand. However, it’s not a self-service function. A contact needs to let a HubSpot user know that they would like to have all of their data deleted.

I can see how that would be a useful feature, for example as an additional option on the email preference page. The [HubSpot Ideas section](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas) of the community is a great place for these kinds of requests. The product team reviews these posts based on popularity.

Best regards!
