被遗忘权初探

被遗忘权是网络时代为保护个人信息安全和隐私权，由自然人享有的一项新颖的权利。它是指在一定条件下自然人有权要求信息控制者删除其信息并停止传播的权利。被遗忘权是隐私权的延伸，属于隐私权的范畴。为了保障和有效实施被遗忘权，需要明确被遗忘权的范围和边界，并协调好被遗忘权与言论自由、基本经济自由等权利的关系。被遗忘权在我国个人信息保护立法中虽然作了粗略规定，但为了适应网络社会的迅速发展，需要在借鉴欧盟、韩国等国家和地区对被遗忘权规范的基础上，逐步完善我国被遗忘权的法律保护。

On the Right to Be Forgotten

The right to be forgotten is a new right, which is enjoyed by a natural person. In order to protect the safety of personal information and privacy, the right to be forgotten has been put forward in the network era. The right to be forgotten means that a natural person has the right to demand informa- tion controller to delete his information, when a legal or contractual reason appears. The right to be for- gotten, included by the privacy right, is its extension. In order to safeguard and exercise the right to be forgotten, we need to clear its boundary, and harmonize these relations between the right to be forgott- en and the freedom of speech, and economic freedom. In order to adapt to the rapid development of the network society, we need to learn from the experiences of the European Union, Korea and other coun- tries and regions about the right to be forgotten, so as to perfect its legal protection in China, though the right to be forgotten has been regulated in the personal information protection law in China.
