The Court observes in this regard that, whilst it is true that the data subject’s rights also override, as a general rule, that interest of internet users, this balance may however depend, in specific cases, on the nature of the information in question and its sensitivity for the data subject’s private life and on the interest of the public in having that information, an interest which may vary, in particular, according to the role played by the data subject in public life.
Sellega seoses märgib Euroopa Kohus, et andmesubjekti õigused kaaluvad internetikasutajate seesuguse huvi küll üldjuhul kindlasti üles, kuid üksikjuhtudel võib see tasakaal siiski sõltuda teabe laadist ja delikaatsusest andmesubjektide eraelu suhtes ning üldsuse huvist seda teavet saada, mis omakorda võib varieeruda vastavalt sellele, milline on selle andmesubjekti roll avalikus elus.
