The court ordered Google to delete personal data
The European Tribunal orders Google to remove material from its own data from the search. Search services responsible for personal data issued on request, believes the Tribunal.
The European Tribunal orders Google in specific cases to fix hyperlinks to news and other materials with data about individuals. The pretext for this decision was the case Mario Costachi Gonzalez, who a couple of years ago complained to the Spanish regulators on Google. Search by name, gave hyperlinks to the news more than a decade ago. The discussions focused on outstanding at the time the debt Gonzalez.
Taking into account opinion of the European court, search services should be responsible for personal data returned by a query. Private person in similar variants has the right to demand from a search firm to remove from the results of the search hyperlinks to the content 3 persons with personal information.
Shared access to such materials could have a great effect on the destiny of man, said the Tribunal. Together with this, the Tribunal recognized the need to take into account the public interest, especially if we are talking about public figures.
Private decision of the European Tribunal interpreted the use of the data protection Directive, which was initially adopted in 1995 and regulates the processing of personal data in the area of the EU. Information that is subject to removal from the search results, should be irrelevant, excess or obsolete. Therefore, search engines be responsible for displaying information published by the third party - the different resources that are indexed in the consequences of the search.
If the search engine refuses to remove similar information at the request of the person, the user can apply to appropriate authorities (court or special Supervisory bodies for the protection of personal data), which own decision can force the search facility to comply with the requirement of a physical person. The European Tribunal of the Supreme court of the Court of the European Union, whose decisions cannot be appealed.
The decision of the court covers 28 countries-members of EU, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Under his influence hit Google search engine, Bing, Microsoft and Yahoo, with offices on the ground, the EU engaged in the implementation of advertising.
In execution of decision of the court Euro Google, which occupies about 90% of the market of Internet search in the EU launched the service of removal from the search results unnecessary information and personal data of the user. To use the service only citizens of member States of the European Union, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, and adjusted the results of the search will be displayed only when the application of the European versions of the search engine (ie, for example, when searching through his domestic version of the results will be the same).
