The 2026 G-LegalHub AI Opt-Out Template

Subject: FORMAL OBJECTION TO DATA PROCESSING FOR AI TRAINING (Art. 21 GDPR & Digital Omnibus 2026)

To: Data Protection Officer (DPO) / Legal Department Company Name: [Insert Company, e.g., Meta, LinkedIn, Google] Date: [Insert Date]

Ref: Exercise of Right to Object under Article 21(1) of the GDPR

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you as a resident of the European Union/EEA to formally object to the processing of my personal data for the purpose of Artificial Intelligence (AI) model training, development, and refinement.

I am aware that under the 2026 Digital Omnibus Regulation, companies may attempt to rely on "Legitimate Interest" (Art. 6(1)(f)) for AI development. However, I am exercising my unconditional right to object as provided by the GDPR and reinforced by the 2026 European digital framework.

My Objection specifically covers:

1. The use of my historical and future posts, photos, and interactions for Large Language Model (LLM) training.

2. The inclusion of my data in "Data Scraping" or "Web Crawling" datasets managed by your affiliates.

3. Any profiling or "Inference Data" generated by your AI based on my behavioral patterns.

Legal Basis for Objection: My interests, rights, and fundamental freedoms—specifically my right to digital sovereignty and the protection of my creative works—override your commercial interest in training proprietary models. Under Article 21(1), you are required to cease this processing unless you can demonstrate "compelling legitimate grounds" which, in the case of general AI training, is highly contested under 2026 EU case law.

Request for Confirmation: Please confirm within 30 days that:

• My data has been excluded from future training sets.

• Any "hashes" or "pseudonymized" versions of my data used in training have been restricted where technically feasible.

Failure to honor this request will result in a formal complaint to my national Data Protection Authority (DPA) and a potential claim for non-material damages under Article 82 of the GDPR.

Sincerely, [Your Full Name] [Your Account Email/Username] [Your Country]
