Google makes it easier to remove your personal information from search results

Google enhances personal info management in search results with 'Results About You'.

: Google's 'Results About You' tool allows users to remove personal data from search results. Updates include integration within search menus and logging requests for later review. Users can monitor removal requests and receive notifications for new personal data.

Google has enhanced its 'Results About You' tool to give users greater control over removing personal data from search results. The tool, updated from its initial rollout in 2022, integrates key features directly into search result pages, offering a streamlined process through the three-dot menu for data removal.

One of the major improvements in this update is a user-friendly interface for requesting and tracking the removal of personal information. While Google can remove content from its search results, it cannot delete original content from the web, emphasizing the importance of this feature for users concerned about privacy.

Additionally, the tool now actively scans for personal data and allows users to refresh data if incorrect information is displayed. Notifications alert users to new occurrences of their data in search results, ensuring they maintain up-to-date privacy control.
