Google makes it easier to delete personal info from Search results


Google is updating its "Results about you" tool to make it easier for users to protect and remove their personal information from Search results.

The company says it’s improved the sign-up process and simplified requesting removals directly from Google Search. For instance, if you removed content about yourself from a website and Search hasn’t been updated to reflect this, you can request a refresh so that Google’s systems will “recrawl” the page to obtain the latest information. The feature is available to users in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, France, Sweden, Thailand, India, and Indonesia.
