Remove Your Information from Search Engines

While removing data from source websites is key, you can also manage how your information appears on Google and Bing. Follow these steps to clean up your search results.

Important: Removing information from search engines doesn't delete it from the internet. It only makes it much harder for people to find through a search.

Google

STEP 1Monitor with 'Results About You'

Use Google’s 'Results About You' tool to automatically find and flag your personal information (like phone number, address, or email) appearing in search results.

Go to Google Tool

STEP 2Contact the Source Website First

The most effective method is to contact the website owner directly and request they remove your information. This removes the data at its source.

THEN, SUBMIT TO GOOGLE

Content Removed from Source

If the content is gone from the site but still appears in search results, use Google’s 'Outdated Content' tool to request its removal from the cache.

Remove Outdated Content

Content Still Live on Source

In certain cases, Google will remove sensitive personal information from search results, even if the content is still live on the website. Use this form for such requests.

Submit Removal Form

Bing

Remove Personal Information
