Nowadays, when we can find almost any information on the Internet, we, as users, entrust our security to a company’s servers by entering our most private information on various official or private sites. Moreover, information such as address, phone number and password that we provide to some sites may appear directly in the search results when you search on Google.
Google today introduced its new measure aimed at preventing this. Receiving a request to prevent URLs containing information such as credit card, bank account information, hand signature, official records and identity numbers from appearing in search results, Google added new ones to this information.
ID photo, phone, address etc. Links with information can be removed from Google
With the new feature of Google, now the website where your ID photo, address, phone number, e-mail address and login information appear in the search results You will be able to send a request to have their address removed from search results. Alongside these requests, Google will begin removing links to sites with ‘exposed or private personal images without consent’, ‘pornographic deepfakes or Photoshops containing your likeness’.
In order to request Google to remove the URLs that appear in the search results, you can create your request according to the relevant category by clicking this link. Of course, removing this information from the search results does not mean that the information is completely deleted from the internet. Only the link to the page where the information appears is removed from the search results. Thus, unless you log in directly to those sites, it is not possible to see which sites the information is located on.
