Derecho de eliminación de información de datos personales sobre procesos sometidos a la justicia.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the right of deletion established in Article 15 of the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection, which entered into force on May 26, 2021, is the appropriate option to request the corresponding authorities to delete personal data contained in the page of the Ecuadorian Automatic Judicial Processing System SATJE, a tool administered by the Judicial Function when such information arising from a process submitted to justice has already culminated either for different reasons such as when a judicial process in non-criminal matters has been issued a judgment rejecting the claim, In criminal matters, when innocence has been declared, or when a ratifying sentence of innocence has been issued, the preliminary investigation has been closed, dismissal or extinction of the criminal action has been issued jointly, as well as compliance with the sentence, The information that rests in this system, which is of free access, harms the rights of privacy, honor and good name, making us susceptible to discrimination by society because of our judicial past for having been involved in a legal dispute and whose storage is no longer relevant to our environment.
