| Summary: |
The details and scope of data protection in Europe are currently at a turning point. As a result of the appeal
lodged with the Spanish National Court by Google group companies against a number of rulings handed down by the Spanish Data Protection Agency, which require the search engine to remove the possibility of accessing data
relating to claimants, a preliminary point of law has been submitted to the Court of Justice of the European Union. It brings
up, among other questions, whether a search engine can be responsible for the handling of personal data. Likewise, the
Commission has just proposed an amendment to data protection legislation, covering the internet and social networks in
particular, with aims including the establishment of the so-called �right to be forgotten�. This right, in terms of the internet,
is not deemed an absolute power of personal data owners to remove such data when they want and unconditionally, but
as a unitary reference to the exercise of the powers of revocation of consent, opposition and cancellation, already set out
in data protection legislation, with regard to those who handle this data digitally. |
