The New Technologies of Information and Communication, especially the Internet, have significantly impacted the way in which the human being relates to everything that surrounds him. In the Information Society, there is a need to extend the concept of privacy, to cover situations in which data or personal information are made available on the global computer network without having an effective public interest. Thus, a doctrinal and jurisprudential current emerges, which is in line with the idea that the excess memory caused by the Internet's ample storage capacity has made human beings unable to detach themselves from the past, being persecuted, For the rest of his life, for his misunderstandings. It speaks of the possibility of applying the right to virtual forgetfulness, due to the protection of the dignity of the human person and the right to privacy, as the prerogative of the human being not to be eternally persecuted for acts or facts of the past that Have no legitimate public interest. The right to forgetfulness comes from the criminal field, and its application, in a civil sphere, especially in relation to the possibility of suppression or concealment of personal data or personal information of the Internet search engines, is what makes the subject new and relevant. Thus, the present research investigates how the Supreme Courts of Brazil and the Spanish Supreme Court are facing the issue in question. We sought to present meeting points between the criteria adopted for decision-making, establishing theoretical frameworks that allow the weighting between conflicting rights, namely, freedom of expression and protection of privacy.
