Google Introduces a New Search Tool to Control Your Online Presence

Today, you can perform a Google search to find the details others can find about you. If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot and see what the results look like. To many people, the only best way to feel safe is to control the personal information other internet users can find on the internet.

Nowadays, it’s imperative to have better control of your online presence. That’s why Google has introduced a brand new Google Search tool that can help you find out whether your personal information can be found online. This tool comes in handy when you want to take control of your online footprint and remain as private as possible.

Delete Personal Results in Search

Check, and you’ll see that Google has already updated its privacy policies. Now, internet users can use a few clicks to delete personal information from the search engine. These include phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers.

Today, it’s easier to delete details that contain your sensitive information from Google. The request process might still give others a challenge, but it’ll get simpler and easier with time.

When searching the internet and you find details that contain private information such as phone numbers, home addresses, and email addresses, you can request Google to remove them as soon as you find them.

Once you’ve submitted the removal request, you can easily monitor the process to be sure that everything is done. It’s something that only happened in a matter of seconds, and you’ll be good to go.

In the next few months, this feature will be available in Google App, as announced by google on May, 11 2022.

There will be an option of removing your personal details by going to the three dots next to Individual Google Search Results.

At the time, users can make search requests by visiting Google’s support page. This might take some time, but as soon as you engage their agents, the details will be deleted.

Once you submit the removal request, Google will evaluate everything on the website to ensure that it’s not removing information that’s important to the general public, such as News Articles. Note that removing your contact information doesn’t mean Google will remove them from websites. If that’s what you want, you might have to contact the hosting directly.

Google believes that everyone should have access to information. Also, it’s committed to protecting individuals’ privacy on the internet. With these changes, you can easily control your presence on the internet and be confident that no one can access your details without your knowledge.

Data Privacy

In the recent past, social media and internet platforms have been in the spotlight on data privacy, as the world’s population on the internet grows. These changes follow the EU’s introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation, which includes a section giving individuals the right to remove their online presence, referred to as ‘the right to be forgotten’.

Based on the announcement by Google, in the next few months, it’s going to be extremely easier for you to be in control of your online information.
