Extract Law No. 18331, Arts. 37 and 38 ‒ De-Indexing Information in Google Headnotes by the Editorial Office 1. The search engine is neither the author nor the owner of the web pages that are returned as a result of the search. 2. ‘De-indexing’ does not equate to ‘removing’, because unlinking the name and personal data from the search engine does not, as a consequence, give rise to the erasure of the data, but rather only to a certain degree of difficulty in searching for it. 3. The action that seeks to protect the potential ‘right to be forgotten online’ through de-indexation – even though it may, generically, constitute a manifestation of the right to the protection of personal data – cannot be brought as an action for ‘habeas data’.
