The internet has no expiration date. A mistake made years ago, a baseless accusation, or simply embarrassing private information that once became public can remain on your digital record forever. This information, even if no longer accurate or relevant, continues to damage your reputation, hinder your career prospects, and force you to constantly explain your past. Search engines like Google keep this past alive with every search of your name. The "Right to be Forgotten" does not mean erasing history; it is your legal right to demand that search engines stop the continuous republication of these specific, damaging parts of your past. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we are your advocates in this complex process, which requires a legal, technical, and highly strategic approach.
This service is fundamentally important for anyone whose life is overshadowed by digital ghosts of the past. This includes rehabilitated individuals whose old news articles prevent a fresh start; victims of false accusations where the exoneration received far less attention than the initial claim; and victims of privacy invasion whose sensitive data was made public without their consent. We also assist professionals whose current image is harmed by irrelevant or out-of-context information. Our goal is to protect your right to have your online reputation reflect who you are today.
Our approach is centered on building a compelling legal argument that balances the public's interest in accessing information against your fundamental right to privacy. We analyze the legal grounds for the removal of each link, crafting detailed, fact-based applications to search engines based on principles established in Article 17 of the GDPR and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. If a search engine refuses a valid request, we escalate the matter by filing a formal complaint with Georgia's Personal Data Protection Service, appealing the decision. We are here to empower you to control your own digital narrative and begin the process of cleaning your digital history.
