When you've added your contact info in settings, we’ll check to see if that info shows up in search results. New results about you will appear within "Results to review," where you can make removal requests.

You can also request to remove results that you see on Google Search, by selecting “Remove result” from the menu icon next to any result that includes your contact info.

Google uses the contact info you provide to check if it matches the information on a result's web page.

It's not shared or used to personalize your experience across other Google products. Learn more

If a result shows personal information that isn't your contact info, you can ask to remove it through a different form.

If you want to make a removal request for legal reasons, please do that here.

Google reviews every request to make sure it meets policy requirements for removal. That includes checking to make sure the information on your request form matches what’s on the result webpage, and that the webpage isn’t owned by a government or educational institution. This usually takes a few days.

Removing a result from Search doesn’t mean it’s gone from the internet. People searching for your information may still be able to find it by going to the webpage directly or through a different search engine.

If you’re comfortable, contact the website owner to have your contact info removed from the website. Learn how to contact a website owner.
