HOW IT WORKS
Background
There is no absolute ‘Right’ to the removal of your personal data from websites or elsewhere. The right is really limited to request deletion.
The GDPR provision has a number of opt-outs and this has made the law a frustrating experience for tens of thousands of people. Websites, search engines, and publishers rely on the opt-outs around ‘public interest’ and ‘right to information’. This is where we come in, all the opt-outs, have a number of opt-outs, which have other opt-outs, and so on and on.
We assess each case we receive and look at whether your case could meet the criteria for removal.
Example
You were convicted 10 years previously for drunk driving. Your local paper reported this as part of its coverage of the courts. The link and summary of this article are the top results when anybody ‘googles’ your name. This is creating an unbalanced impression of you and is impacting your search for work.
You contact us. We make the case to the search engines, and they agree with our argument. They agree to delist the story when anyone searches for your name.
After a few days, using the same search, the article in the local paper does not appear on the internet.
When you submit your request to us, we will make an initial assessment of your specific situation, and may come back to you seeking further information if we agree to take on your case we will provide you with a fee structure. This fee will be determined after an in-depth review of your case.
Further details on this can be provided after our initial assessment. If we take on your case and fail to get your material removed you will be refunded the fee you paid to us, barring the service charge.
