Having your personal information pop up online in various places can be quite annoying, especially if it’s things like your phone number and email address. It can be difficult to remove, too, as it could involve steps like contacting a website and then hoping they will remove the information themselves.
The good news is that Google decided a few years ago to help you remove your personal data from Search results. Google can’t exactly help you scrub third-party websites that list your data, but it can prevent them from appearing in your search results.
Google has upgraded the tool over the years, making Results about you a pretty straightforward weapon to use when protecting your privacy. These improvements and tweaks suggested we’d see similar usability upgrades in the future. The newest upgrade dropped on Wednesday, with Google now making removing your information from search results even easier than before.
