Abstract

Ovaj rad predstavlja doprinos raspravi o značenju, uvjetima i načinima ostvarivanja privatnosti i kontrole nad osobnim podacima u digitalnom okruženju. Prvi dio rada bavi se idejnim nastankom prava na zaborav koje je razmatrano u pravnoj praksi i stručnim krugovima mnogo prije njegovog službenog kodificiranja u čl. 17. Opće uredbe o zaštiti podataka. Analizira se važeći pravni okvir, a posebno presude Suda Europske unije kojima je pravo na zaborav utvrđeno prema internetskim pretraživačima kao pravo zahtijevati uklanjanje poveznica iz rezultata pretraživanja na temelju osobnog imena, određena je njegova lokalizirana provedba, ali i nametnute određene specifične obveze. Izlažu se relevantni slučajevi nacionalnih nadzornih tijela za zaštitu podataka protiv Google-a, a kao poseban izazov se ističe nedostatak harmoniziranih i jasnih pravila u pogledu usklađivanja prava na privatnost i zaštitu podataka sa slobodom izražavanja i informiranja. Završni dio rada se bavi analizom postupka podnošenja zahtjeva za uklanjanje poveznica i kriterijima njegovog ocjenjivanja, ali i drugih mogućnosti koje stoje na raspolaganju za očuvanje privatnosti na internetu. U zaključku se navode preostala otvorena pitanja i aktualnosti u pogledu zaštite osobnih podataka te praktične provedbe prava na (digitalni) zaborav.

Abstract (english)

This thesis aims to contribute to the general debate on the meaning, conditions and modalities of exercising privacy and control over personal data in the digital environment. Firstly, the concept of the right to be forgotten is presented, which has been considered in legal practice and professional circles even before its official codification in Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The applicable legal framework is analyzed, with a special emphasis on the relevant cases of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that established “the right to be forgotten” as a right of an individual to demand and obtain from search engines delisting of certain search results, but also limited its application to EU-specific domain extensions and imposed specific obligations on search engines. Then, significant decisions of national data protection authorities (DPAs) against Google are examined, as well as the issue of balancing the rights to privacy and data protection with the freedom of expression and information. The procedure of submitting a delisting request to Google and the criteria for its assessment are analyzed, in addition to the other possibilities available to individuals for protecting their privacy online. Finally, this thesis discusses the remaining current and potential issues relating to the protection of personal data and the practical implementation of the right to be (digitally) forgotten.
