The present article addresses the right to forgetfulness with an emphasis on the virtual world. It is a relatively recent institute, which discusses the use made of past events that could cause serious damage to the rights of the personality - privacy, intimacy, image and honor. Its precepts uphold the right to be forgotten in specific cases, under certain conditions, such as the impertinence of information and its harmful potential, the passage of time and the present circumstances. The theme gained prominence in the current information era after the emergence of the Internet and search engines, the main responsible for the information eternalization. The new technologies have somehow prevented forgetting, with services whose end product is the perpetuation of data. With this academic effort, we seek to debate the viability of the right to be forgotten, facing the constitutional guarantees of freedom of the press and access to information.
