Privacy Law: Right To Be Forgotten In India

The “right to forget” refers to the already intensively reflected situation that a historical event should no longer be revitalized due to the length of time elapsed since its occurrence; the “right to be forgotten” reflects the claim of an individual to have certain data deleted so that third persons can no longer trace them. Therefore, the right to be forgotten is based on the autonomy of an individual becoming a right holder in respect of personal information on a time scale; the longer the origin of the information goes back, the more likely personal interests prevail over public interests.
