With the introduction of GDPR and the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (RoOA) Law, individuals within the UK now have more control over their personal data and its online usage. However, this also means that there may be situations where specific items related to these laws must be deleted from online platforms. We will discuss the removal of the following:
- Articles
- Websites
- Images

Impact of Removing Content under “GDPR RoOA”
Removing content under these laws can effectively change someone’s life. From having no job after a spent conviction, an individual with a clear DBS check can now find a job or a better job without the fear of being judged for their past mistakes. With our RoOA removal service, we can not only find any content relating to your conviction through our Deep Dive service but also submit it to be removed from any major search engines within the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are your rights under the ‘GDPR RoOA Law’? = As an individual, you can exercise your right to have your data erased if it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was initially collected or processed. This means that the data controller must delete your information without any unnecessary delay in compliance with privacy regulations. So rest assured that you have control over how your personal data is managed.
- When can I have the content removed under the Rehabilitation Of Offenders Act? = Depending on how long your sentence was and the crime you were charged for, you can have the content under your name removed. New laws were put into place in 2023 (More Information). However, you may consider Online Reputation Management, where we suppress the negative content down your search pages (More Information)
- Can you contact a website about an article you would like to remove under the Rehabilitation Of Offenders Act? = Yes, we can, depending on the site and the manner in which it was published. However, if we contact the website directly, they may not comply and create an extra piece of content stating how we tried to contact them for removal, hampering your reputation even further. The best action we can take is to submit a request to the search engines with legal reasoning under ‘GDPR RoOA’, and we have more certainty that they would comply. But this is never promised.
