Debt.com currently does not believe it is a data processor for a data controller, necessitating that it enter into customary and compliant data processing agreements with data controllers.

Yes. However, a data subject should understand the consequences of such a request.
For example, with respect to any personal data that provides the necessary contact details in order to administer a subscription for a subscriber that is an organization, Debt.com will need to replace the contact information within its system in order to manage the subscriber’s subscription and account.
For any subscribers who are individuals, complying with a request to be forgotten will, of course, cause a permanent termination of the subscriber’s account and subscription.
If you are a data subject and have requests of Debt.com under GDPR related to your individual rights in your personal data, including a "request to be forgotten/for erasure," "rectification," etc., please email [email protected]. Debt.com will promptly review your request and respond to you.
