This work aims to analyze cases, this work aims to analyze the so-called right to oblivion and reveal that it is beneficial for those who committed crimes at a certain point in their previous life, as they paid their debts, with society and hope to be forgotten. This right gained visibility through Statement nº 531 of the Federal Judiciary Council of 2013. It aims to protect anyone who has been involved in unfortunate or embarrassing situations in the past and hopes not to be remembered by the mean a websites, people, etc. This right is based on the dignity of the human person and on the rights of personality, honor, image, intimacy and private life. The right to be forgotten has also become important for promoting the reintegration of an ex-detainee into society, as the right to be forgotten facilitates the person's reintegration into society. The main problem is the method of resolving the conflicts of fundamental rights involved, because on the one hand it is the constitution and the democratic rights of freedom of expression and information, and on the other hand it is the principle of dignity and personality rights.
