This research examines the legal framework governing personal data protection in the Republic of Uzbekistan and identifies critical deficiencies in current legislation regarding individuals' rights over their digital information. The study specifically investigates the absence of a "right to be forgotten" mechanism in Uzbek law and proposes conceptual recommendations for its implementation. Employing doctrinal legal analysis and comparative methodology, the research reviews Uzbekistan's Law on Personal Data (2019) and constitutional provisions and contrasts these with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation and other international models. The findings reveal significant legislative gaps in data subject rights, liability mechanisms, and digital governance infrastructure. The study concludes by proposing a comprehensive legislative framework for introducing the right to be forgotten in Uzbekistan, aligned with international standards while accounting for the country's unique legal, technological, and socio-economic conditions.
