- Title
Control over Personal Data in a Digital Age: Google Spain v AEPD and Mario Costeja Gonzalez.
- Authors
Lynskey, Orla
- Abstract
In the Google Spain judgment, the Grand Chamber of the EU Court of Justice determined the circumstances in which a search engine is obliged to remove links to data pertaining to an individual from the results displayed. The Court also considered the material and territorial scope of the EU data protection rules. This note argues that the Court's findings, which have been heavily criticised, are normatively coherent. The broad scope of application of data protection rules and the right of individuals to have their data deleted when certain conditions are fulfilled both play a part in granting individuals effective control over their personal data - an objective of EU data protection law.
