Abstract

Increased recognition of the pervasiveness of information collected and accessed has led to concern as to its impact on privacy. The ability to impact people's lives with the easy availability of information that in other eras would have remained hidden or “forgotten” is highlighted by the use of the internet for instant recall. Such information, which organizations often hold for commercial benefit, is increasingly made available through search results or from online archives. This chapter will focus on the impact of the Google Spain case, which was believed to have created a new right to be forgotten, leading to the finalization of Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation. The author will then examine more recent cases where the new right has been applied and their impact on defining its scope. In particular, the author will focus on the UK joined cases of NT1 and NT2.
