You can ask the search giant to remove links to sites that reveal your personal information, such as a phone number or address.
that lists the URL of the content you want removed, the Google Search URL that surfaces it, and “representative screenshots” showing the personal or otherwise identifying content. Depending on what you’re asking to get removed, Google may contact you and ask for yet more information—presumably proof that you are who you say you are.
When it receives your removal request, Google’s moderators “evaluate all content on the web page to ensure that we’re not limiting the availability of other information that is broadly useful.” They will “also evaluate if the content appears as part of the public record on the sites of government or official sources,” and in these cases, won’t make removals.
If your request is successful, Google either removes the URL from all search queries, or only from those that include your name or other identifying information. This means that if something like a forum post explicitly doxxes you, it will likely be removed from all searches, while a long article of contact information for hundreds of people would only be delisted when someone specifically searches for your name.
Google also makes it clear that removing links from its search results doesn’t actually delete anything from the internet. If you want things totally gone, it suggestsWhile this new policy is certainly a move in the right direction, getting Google to remove links from search results is certainly an uphill battle, at least in the US.
