Google Privacy Update - PII Can Now be Removed from Searches.
Quick Answer:
Can I remove my personal information from Google search results?
Yes. Google lets individuals request removal of personal information, such as your name, phone number, and address, from its search results.
- The removal option covers PII like name, phone number, and address, among other personal details.
- This SecurityMetrics News segment (October 2023) doesn't detail the exact removal request process in its written text.
- Check Google's own current support documentation for the step-by-step removal request form, since Google's process may have changed since 2023.
