Abstract

The subject of this article is an aspect of personal data protection, the data subject’s right of
erasure, or respectively the „right to be forgotten“. The rights of the data subjects concerning
the protection of personal data have been more clearly defned. One of the most important of
those rights is the right of erasure, resulting in reafrmation and strengthening of the active role
of the subject in all phases of personal data processing. Besides outlining and commenting on the
conditions required in order to consume this right, the article explains the delicate relationship
between the interests of the individuals and the right of erasure of personal data of the subject
with the public or individuals’ right of access to information together with possible conflicts as
a result. There is also a comparison between the right to erasure and the right to rehabilitation
from the perspective of penology.
