\n

Are you tired of your personal information being available on search engines? Let\u2019s be honest. Who isn\u2019t? Well, now Google is updating<\/a> its privacy tool to make it more powerful and easier than ever to remove your personal information from their search engine. <\/p>\n

Google’s ‘Results about You’ tool was rolled out last year. Google says it’s been working hard to make things better since it first launched its software. <\/p>\n

It launched with the intention of allowing people to request the removal of personal information that pops up during Google searches<\/a>. Personal information can include a phone number, email address, physical address or even unwanted images. <\/p>\n

Now, it is not possible to block your name on Google, or any other search engine such as Bing or Yahoo. However, you can request the removal of Google search results that divulge your personal information.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The biggest change is that now you can find your information on Google<\/a> without going through the hassle of searching for it yourself. <\/p>\n

You simply enter your information, and the dashboard will compile a list of sites that contain any matches. You can then submit a request to have the information removed pronto after reviewing these pages. On Google\u2019s hub, you can view the status of all the requests you have made.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another addition is you can now receive push notifications that alert you when new results of your information pop up on Google. This makes it much easier for you as you don\u2019t have to constantly reenter your information in the dashboard to check for matches. <\/p>\n

These notifications will tell how many search results on the internet show your personal information. You can then take action on this information and request that the details be taken off the internet.<\/p>\n

BEST PRIVATE AND SAFE ALTERNATIVES TO BIG TECH GOOGLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Google\u2019s policies around the “results about you” feature have also shifted slightly. The removal guidelines used to only focus on information that was posted without consent. Now, they have been expanded, and personal info that you posted intentionally but later wanted to be removed is eligible for removal. <\/p>\n

Commercialized information does not fall under this category. However, there are some search results Google will not be able to remove, so be aware not all your requests will be successful. Google also will never take action against any results from governments or educational institutions. <\/p>\n

There are also new, easier-to-find parental control features and the addition of SafeSearch\u2019s photo blurring, which will blur out potentially explicit images. If you are worried about your family being exposed to inappropriate content, you can now preemptively censor certain things. <\/p>\n

TEN TRICKS FOR DOING AN EFFECTIVE GOOGLE SEARCH<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the best part. You don\u2019t even need a Google account to get rid of your own info. There\u2019s a <\/u>new form you can use all on its own to make your request. Once you send it off, Google will shoot you an email so you can keep tabs on how things are going. You\u2019ll know if they give the green light to remove your info. If you do decide to log in, you can also see the progress on the dashboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, this feature in Google\u2019s “Results about you” dashboard is only available for usage in the U.S. via the Google app or Google site. Here’s how to access it:\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to Google’s “Results about you” tool, I recommend you invest in a removal service to get your personal information off the hundreds of people search sites out there. While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time.<\/p>\n

It is great to see Google making an effort to increase the safety of its search experience. While removal was possible before, it certainly was not easy.<\/p>\n

This is an improved update to their ‘Results about You’ tool\u00a0along with the new alerts warning you of your information appearing on the web. It is important to remember that just because your information has been removed from Google, it doesn\u2019t mean all of your information is removed from other parts of the web.<\/p>\n

Why do you think Google is making this move to make internet safety more accessible? And do you see this as the start of a potential trend with other engines and sites? Let us know by writing us at CyberGuy.com\/Contact\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
