Google Results about you
Google's tool for requesting removal of search results that expose your contact details.
In more detail
A dashboard in your Google account that scans results for your phone number, email address and home address and lets you request removal. As of February 2026 it also covers government-issued ID numbers such as passport, driver's licence and Social Security numbers, and has streamlined removal of non-consensual explicit imagery.
Why it matters to you
It does not delete anything from the source website — it removes the result from Google, which is how people actually find things. It is free and takes about ten minutes.
What to do
Use it. It is the single highest-leverage free action available to most people.
- Right to be forgotten
A European right to have certain personal information delisted from search results. It does not exist in the US.
- Deindexing
Removing a page from a search engine's index without removing the page itself.
