What Is Data Protection?
Data protection is an extremely important thing, especially in today’s modern world. Without proper data protection, one quick search on any search engine could result in your personal information being spread without your consent. This can impact your life in ways that you may not even be aware of. Data protection is the process of ensuring that none of your information is shared without your consent.
What DigitalOx Ltd Can Do To Help Protect Your Data?
We offer various different services that can help you to protect your personal data online. These mostly involve legal requests to search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and DuckDuckGo in order to remove your personal information and data. We work extremely hard in order to help protect your data and we currently have an 80% removal rate. We empower people to have content removed that they deem not in the public’s interest and a breach of their personal data.
There are various different reasons why a search engine would be required to remove your data through the use of the General Data Protection Regulation. We would review your case and find which section of the law affects your rights, we then relay this information to the search engines and if they agree with us, then your case will be successful and the data will be removed.
GDPR / Right to be Forgotten law
The first section of the law that could be used to remove content from online platforms is the right to be forgotten law. This relates more so to criminal offences and the use of the Rehabilitation Of Offenders Act. The act cites a specific period of time relating to the sentence you were given for your offence. If your sentence becomes “spent”, which means the specific amount of time has passed, then there is no longer any reason why the information needs to be available to the public.
GDPR For Withdrawn Consent
This section of the GDPR law comes into play when you have previously given consent for your name, image or other personal data, but no longer wish for it to be online. If you have withdrawn your consent, then there is a high chance that we can help you to get the information removed. It is within your rights to withdraw consent at any point under the Right to Erasure within the GDPR law.
GDPR For Stolen Content
If you have been a victim of stolen content which has been posted online, then we would have a very strong case to be able to help you get this content removed from the internet. This is due to the fact that this would be a massive breach of your GDPR rights. Content placed online without your permission should not be accessible to other people and that is why we are here to help protect your data.
GDPR For Revenge Porn
Revenge porn is revealing or sexually explicit photographs and films of a person posted on the internet, without the consent of the subject and with the intent to cause them distress or embarrassment. The perpetrator is typically a former sexual partner. Revenge Porn has recently been made a criminal offence due to severity of the data breach and distress that can be brought upon the victim. We have a lot of experience when it comes to sensitive cases like this and we always handle them with the utmost professionalism and discretion.
GDPR As You Were Acquitted Of All Charges/Charges Dropped
If you were previously involved in any legal troubles, then there may be articles and blog posts about said troubles online. However, if you can prove and have evidence that you have been acquitted of all charges or your charges have been dropped, then we can show this evidence to search engines in order for them to remove the information from their search results. This will help to remove any negativity from your search results.
Conclusion
In conclusion, with Data Protection Day 2022 coming up, we fully understand how having your data breached can affect not only your work life but also your mental health and personal life, book a call to let us help you remove negative content.
