OPINION | Remembering the right to be forgotten [AMICUS CURIAE ANDREW STEPHEN S. LOTA] READ:

FIRMBEE.COM-UNSPLASH

The “Right to Be Forgotten” under the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union provides that data subjects, on specified grounds, shall have the right to demand the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay. The RTBF finds its Philippine counterpart in the right to erasure or blocking under the Data Privacy Act . Under the DPA, data subjects are granted the right to suspend, withdraw, or order the blocking, removal, or destruction of his or her personal information from persons or entities who collect, hold, process, or use it.5

No distinction or qualification is made as to where the erasure or blocking shall apply or refer to. Thus, unless the government or the National Privacy Commission comes out with specific rules, it can be interpreted that this right can be exercised against any persons or entities who hold or process the information, including those who manage websites that contain the disputed information.
