The Reality

The Right to Be Forgotten
Reality

Right to Be Forgotten laws (formally "Right to Erasure" under GDPR and similar regulations) recognize that people deserve to move on from their past. Not everything that was once publicly available should remain searchable forever. When historical information is no longer relevant, accurate, or proportionate, individuals have legal rights to request removal from search results and sometimes from source sites.

The challenge

The challenge is that Right to Be Forgotten isn't automatic or universal. It exists primarily in the EU (GDPR), UK (UK GDPR), and select other jurisdictions—not in the US under federal law.

Privacy rights

It requires balancing individual privacy rights against public interest. It applies more readily to private individuals than public figures. Requests must meet specific criteria.

Legal framework

Platforms and search engines review each request individually, rejecting most applications from non-experts who don't understand the legal framework.

Most people attempting Right to Be Forgotten

requests fail because they don't understand what qualifies, how to present requests, which regulations apply

What We Do

How We Navigate Right to Be Forgotten

Right to Be Forgotten service at ibig.ai provides expert guidance through GDPR, UK GDPR, and similar data protection regulations, maximizing success rates for removal requests while pursuing alternative strategies

Eligibility Assessment and Strategy

We determine what can be removed under applicable laws. GDPR/UK GDPR eligibility evaluation, jurisdiction analysis (which laws apply to you), content categorization (personal data, special category data), public interest balancing test, public vs. private figure assessment, and realistic success probability estimation.

Request Preparation and Submission

We craft legally compliant removal requests. Precise legal basis identification (which GDPR article applies), compelling justification narrative, disproportionality arguments (why content is excessive), outdated information documentation, harm evidence and impact quantification, and supporting documentation package.

Search Engine Request Navigation

We navigate Google, Bing, and other search engine processes. Platform-specific request forms and procedures, evidence requirements for each search engine, multiple URL submission and prioritization, timing optimization for best success rates, and coordinated requests across search engines.

Source Site Removal Requests

We pursue removal at the source when possible. Direct requests to website publishers, GDPR Article 17 erasure requests, data controller identification and contact, legal obligation notification, documentation of request and response, and escalation when requests are ignored.

Appeals and Escalation

We fight rejections systematically. Rejection reason analysis and rebuttal, enhanced evidence and argumentation, regulatory complaint preparation (ICO, data protection authorities), legal counsel coordination for complex appeals, precedent research strengthening appeals, and administrative review requests.

Alternative Strategies for Non-Qualifying Content:

When Right to Be Forgotten doesn't apply, we pursue other options. De-indexing through other legal mechanisms, visibility reduction and suppression tactics, privacy law alternatives (California CCPA, state laws), platform policy enforcement, and legal coordination for jurisdiction-specific options.
