Your name in the BOE or BORME, years later
NetClearer prepares and files requests for people in Spain whose name appears in old BOE or BORME pages found on Google: pardons, sanctions, notices, past company roles. The BOE can block search engines from a page once its purpose is over, and Google can delist the result. €29 incl. VAT per link. The BOE, the AEPD and Google decide.

Why the gazette follows you
The *Boletín Oficial del Estado* (BOE) publishes laws, but also individual acts: pardons (*indultos*), administrative sanctions, notices to people who could not be reached at home. The *Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil* (BORME) publishes company events: appointments, resignations, insolvency. Each page has a name and stays online for good. Google indexes many of them, and copy sites such as einforma, infoempresa, axesor or librebor republish BORME data with your name in the title.
The right to be forgotten was born in Spain: the *Google Spain* case of 2014 started with an old official notice about a debt. Spain also has the largest number of delisting requests among our countries: 159,996 since 2014 (Google’s figures).
The routes Spanish law gives
| Route | Basis | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| BOE de-indexing | Once the purpose of the publication is over, the person, the AEPD, the body that ordered it or the BOE itself can have the page added to the BOE’s robots.txt file | Search engines stop indexing the page; it stays on boe.es |
| Google delisting | LOPDGDD art. 93 (right to be forgotten in search engines) and GDPR art. 17 | Google stops showing the result for your name |
| Copy sites | GDPR art. 21 (objection) and storage limitation | The site is asked to remove or update the copy |
| Complaint | AEPD, the Spanish data protection authority | You sign and send the complaint we prepare |
Courts back this. Google was ordered to pay €8,000 for indexing a pardon published in the BOE, and the Supreme Court said that showing a pardon is lawful at first, but not after a reasonable time and a complaint (El Derecho). The AEPD has ordered BOE de-indexing in its decisions (AEPD E/05143/2016).
What about BORME and company roles?
The EU Court said in *Manni* (C-398/15, 2017) that there is no general right to erase a director’s data from an official company register. So we do not file against the BORME itself. We target the copies: private sites that keep your old roles, your former address or an old insolvency on a page about you, long after it stopped being useful. See also company-data sites.
Our steps
- You send the BOE or BORME links and the Google searches that show them. We check the date, the type of act and whether its purpose is over.
- You sign a mandate under LOPDGDD art. 12, which allows a voluntary representative, and send ID.
- We file the BOE de-indexing request, the Google delisting request and the requests to copy sites, the same day you order.
- If a request is refused, we prepare a complaint to the AEPD for you to sign. The AEPD received a record 30,931 complaints in 2025 (AEPD), so answers take time.
Our methods are open: no fake copyright notices, no invented articles, no fake complaints. NetClearer is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. €29 incl. VAT per link; no refund once your request has been filed. The GDPR and the AEPD do not apply to people and sites outside the EU, for example in Latin America.
Frequently asked questions
Can the BOE delete the page about my pardon?
No. The BOE keeps its publications as they are. What it can do is stop search engines from indexing the page once its purpose is over. Together with a Google delisting request, this usually means the page no longer appears when someone searches your name.
How old must the entry be?
There is no fixed number of years. The test is whether the purpose of the publication is over: for a pardon, after the sentence; for a notice, once the person was informed. We check the dates in your case and tell you if it is too early.
My old company role appears on einforma and librebor. Can you help?
Yes. We send an objection request to each site, explaining why the old role or address is no longer needed, and ask Google to delist the pages for your name. We do not ask the BORME itself to erase your data, because EU law does not allow that.
I live in Latin America. Does this work for me?
The GDPR and the Spanish AEPD protect people in the EU. If you live outside the EU, Google’s European delisting form does not apply to you, and we cannot use these routes. You can still contact us to check other options, such as the platform’s own rules.
