How to Remove Information About Yourself from the Internet in Slovakia

Everything stays on the internet — including details that may become an unwanted part of your digital history. If you need to delete compromising or unnecessary information, you can use the “right to be forgotten,” which is protected under European legislation.

1. Who owns the data? If information about you has been published without your consent, you have the right to request its removal. This applies to photos, videos, posts, and other materials.
2. How to submit a request? Contact the owner of the website and ask them to remove the data. Your request should be well-reasoned and include a clear explanation of why the information must be deleted.
3. How to remove data from search results? Even after deletion from a website, the information may remain in search engines. To remove it from Google, you need to submit a request directly to Google.
4. When can they refuse? Removal is not always possible. If the information is of public interest (for example, related to crimes or politics), your request may be rejected.
5. What if they refuse? If a website or search engine declines to remove the content, you can contact a lawyer. In complex cases, you may need to file a claim or contact national data protection authorities.
