- Case Summary
The Mexican Access to Information and Data Protection Committee of the Federal Judiciary Council (Committee) ordered that an individual's personal data be removed from physical and electronic copies of judicial notices of the proceedings that he had been a party to. José Ramón Baustista Pérez Salazar requested the deletion of his personal data from these notices after he found the data had been made available on a commercial website, which he argued harmed his right to privacy and exposed him to discrimination. The Committee repealed the decision of a District Court that denied the request, and found that the personal data should be removed because the purpose of the notices had come to an end.
- Case Significance
The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
