Did you know that Search results about You are YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
If a newspaper, video, image or other webpage includes your name, and it shows when your full name is searched in the UK and EU, then you may have the Right to Erasure from search engine results pages (informally known as the Right to be Forgotten) under Article 17 UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
This principle was established by the CJEU in Google Spain v AEPD and Mario Costeja Gonzalez (C-131/12) and remains the foundation of modern Right to be Forgotten law and delisting from Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and other search engine results pages in the UK and EU.

Internet Erasure Ltd provides a Right to be Forgotten service which is unique within the legal services and reputation management sectors because:
- Eligibility Assessments
We offer a free initial consultation, including review of representative articles or media, to accurately assess the merits and eligibility of each case. - Merit-Based Onboarding
We only accept instructions and charge fees where, based on our experience, there is a realistic prospect of achieving delisting. - Ongoing Commitment
We do not limit the work required. Rather than restricting the scope of a case to a single submission or appeal, we manage the process persistently through multiple, evolving, and strategic search engine submissions, case reviews, and complaints to the Information Commissioner (ICO), the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO), or international regulators where applicable. - Proactive Intelligence
We proactively identify indexed search results and the ecosystem of syndicated publications, archive links, and URL variants (including language, device, image size, and cached versions) rather than expecting clients or their representatives to locate them independently. This removes unnecessary administrative burdens on clients and supports a comprehensive Right to be Forgotten service.
What is the Right to be Forgotten and How Can It Help You Remove Content from Google?
The Right to be Forgotten is a data protection right that allows you to request the removal of unwanted personal information from search engine results.
If there are articles, images, or links showing in Google or Bing that you no longer want associated with your name, we can advise on eligibility for their permanent removal from public view.
Negative search results affect friendships, housing, finance, employment, work associations, client trust, business development and so many other areas of your life (even your children's school experiences and their social opportunities), usually you don't know that YOU'VE BEEN GOOGLED, but you live with the consequences.
However, your name is your personal data, and the Right to be Forgotten under GDPR Article 17 gives you the right to request removal of content which shows when your name is searched.
Internet Erasure specialises in helping people remove unwanted content from Google and Bing, including news articles, blog posts, personal photos and court reports.
If you want to delete an article, remove your name from Google, or take down a photo, we manage the entire Right to be Forgotten process on your behalf. This includes identifying all relevant URLs, drafting and supporting the legal arguments, submitting removal notices, handling responses from search engines and appealing to regulators such as The Information Commissioner where necessary.
We also apply other legal tools such as Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, defamation and copyright law, and the online safety act to strengthen your case and protect your privacy.
Whether you want to remove reporting of a court case, delist an old news story, or clean up your online presence, the Right to be Forgotten and Internet Erasure can help you take back control.

How to remove newspaper articles under the Right to be Forgotten
The Right to be Forgotten is a data protection and privacy right under GDPR Article 17, which, when combined with ECHR Article 8, allows arguments to be presented to Google, Bing and other search engines that your privacy rights outweigh the public's right to know something about you.
This means that many newspaper articles and photographs can be removed from search engine results pages in the UK and EU where the legal frameworks apply.
This right frequently applies even if the articles cannot be deleted from source due to journalistic freedom of expression, effectively going 'over the heads' of the newspapers.
Our FAQs page helpfully explains the law and the tech further.
How can the Right to Erasure restore privacy?
The Right to Erasure under GDPR Article 17, more commonly known as the Right to be Forgotten, allows private individuals to request that content about them is removed from search engines.
Search engines like Google and Bing delist newspaper articles, photographs, documents, and videos, meaning remove from search results under full name in the GDPR regions (UK and EU).
As a result, people can regain control and improve their online reputation.
The Right to Erasure is a powerful legal remedy for those experiencing reputational harm caused by adverse media.
However, the Right to Erasure is not automatic. It is assessed on a case-by-case basis by balancing your personal privacy rights against the public interest.
To successfully remove an article from Google and Bing under the Right to be Forgotten your personal privacy rights must be clearly and forcefully advanced. Experienced and determined representation can make the difference between delisting being approved or rejected.
