Right to limitation of treatment sounds relevant too, but erasure seems right.

Isn't there a limit on how often they can email you?

I’m a bit confused. I thought the right of access was about seeing what data they have, not deleting it. So, I guess it’s not that one.

I’m leaning towards the right to erasure too, especially since he wants all his personal data deleted. It makes sense in this context.

I remember practicing a question about data subjects' rights, and I feel like the right to limitation of treatment could also apply here, but it’s not the main focus.

I think the right he’s asking for is the right to erasure, but I'm not completely sure. It seems like the most relevant option.

The question mentions the person informing their email, then receiving frequent marketing emails, and then asking to delete their data. I think the right to limitation of treatment might apply here, but I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, I've got it! The person is demanding their right to erasure, since they want the store to delete all their personal data. That's the correct answer here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. The person is asking the store to delete their personal data, but I'm not sure if that's the right term for it. Let me think this through step-by-step.

This seems like a straightforward question about data subject rights under the GDPR. I'll carefully read through the details and consider which right would apply in this situation.

Haha, I bet this person is getting emails for 'enlargement pills' and 'hot singles in their area'. Time to exercise that right to erasure!
