Right To Be Forgotten - An Analysis




Animesh Sharma & Harshit Sharma, Manipal University Jaipur


ABSTRACT


The right to be forgotten has been in the headline in recent times. It refers to a process through which people can ask for the removal of their information. This principle came to light because people wanted to lead their life without any judgment for the things they have done in their past. The personal data of an individual should be removed immediately when that data is no longer needed for legal reasons or any other reasons. There is a significant relationship between the right to be forgotten and the right to privacy which have been observed through judgments given by courts. This paper aims to look at this principle and to present a comprehensive analysis. This paper also includes criticism of this law and how it is dealt with in other countries.


Keywords: Right to be forgotten, GDPR, Privacy
