Abstract: With Regulation 679 of 2016 and Directive 680 of 2016, personal data protection enters a new era. Starting from the various decisions of the European Court of Justice, but also from the existing data protection personal data (conditions necessary for the transfer of data, such as transparency and necessity), we propose a double-targeted analysis in this study. On the one hand, we will discuss comparative law issues and jurisprudential issues, and on the other hand we will analyze the provisions of the European legislative acts to be applied from 2018, this time also in terms of comparative law (see France, which has already elaborated a new law in this field - the law for a digitized republic). The novelty elements that draw attention to us are those relating to newly established rights, such as the right to be forgotten.
Keywords: personal data; the right to be forgotten; principles; European regulation.
