People can ask Google to delete sensitive information from its internet search results, Europe's top court has ruled.

The case underlines the battle between advocates of free expression and supporters of privacy rights, who say people should have the "right to be forgotten" meaning that they should be able to remove their digital traces from the internet.

The ruling by the Luxembourg-based European Union Court of Justice (ECJ) on Tuesday came after a Spanish man complained to the Spanish data protection agency that an auction notice of his repossessed home on Google's search results infringed his privacy.

The case is one of 180 similar cases in Spain whose complainants want Google to delete their personal information from the web. The company says forcing it to remove such data amounts to censorship.
