After the recent Court of Justice of the European Union’s ruling holding that certain users of search engines can ask, in certain cases, to search engines to remove results for queries that include their name (Case 131-12), Google has uploaded a online form to ask for the removal.
Google specifies that Google
“will assess each individual request and attempt to balance the privacy rights of the individual with the public’s right to know and distribute information. When evaluating your request, we will look at whether the results include outdated information about you, as well as whether there’s a public interest in the information—for example, information about financial scams, professional malpractice, criminal convictions, or public conduct of government officials.”
