Comment (by postphotos):

 Confirming in chat: We want to generally use the terms "erase"/"erasure"
 and this is the right approach forward, @allendav. Here's @idea15's quote
 from Slack:
 > Yes - this is a case where the term is very niche to this particular
 point of law, as opposed to being generic. Also "erasure" helps
 differentiate from "right to be forgotten", which is the most
 misinterpreted and misrepresented point of data protection law.
