Google told to extend 'right to be forgotten' worldwide

2014-11-27 09:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) EU data protection and privacy regulators have told Google to extend its implementation of the 'right to be forgotten' across its global search properties. An EU court ruling in May requires Google to remove links to sensitive information on its search engine based on a person's name, if that person so requests. However, Google has implemented the 'right to be forgotten' only on its European domains. The Article 29 Working Group, made up of national privacy regulators in the EU, has now issued new guidelines to the company, saying the right to be forgotten should be implemented on Google properties worldwide. Removing the links only on national domains would not meet the requirements of the court or fully protect a user's data rights, the regulators said. The guidelines also cover complaints to the regulators over the process of implementing the right to be forgotten. They said they would consider any cases brought by someone with a connection to the EU, starting with citizens and residents of the bloc.
