The Right to Be Forgotten

The right of the data subject to have his or her data erased is one which every EU citizen already has by virtue of the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) and one which will only be further strengthened by the enforcement of the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The Right to Be Forgotten
Data Subjects (being the subjects of the personal data) can instruct Data Controllers’ (the entity that determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed) to remove their data in specified situations.

However, what is the role of entities that do not control the data, but merely provides access to them?
Such entities include online search engines.  In the case of Google Spain SL and Google Inc v Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) and Mario Costeja González, Case C-131/12, Google had refused to remove web links to a newspaper whose web pages had contained a Spanish national’s personal details.
