Right to be Forgotten

The term «Right to be Forgotten” is also known as “Right to Erasure» and means, in law, a particular form of guarantee which provides for the non-diffusion of information that can constitute a prejudicial precedent of a person’s honor. Specifically, information may be disseminated only under certain conditions such as obtaining the judicial history of a person. Based on this principle, it is not legitimate, for example, to disseminate information relating to convictions received or, in any case, other sensitive data of similar subject, except in the case of particular cases attributable to news events. Even in such cases, the publicity of the fact must be proportionate to the importance of the event and the time elapsed since the incident. The laws governing the “Right to be Forgotten” apply only to natural persons and not to companies
