How to Remove Personal Information from the Web

Search engines do not have the ability to remove content directly from the Internet, so personal information from Google or another search engine would still leave the original content that exists on the Web. Even more local governments make their records available on the Internet, easily stealing people’s identities, data.

If you want to remove personal information from the Web, you best to contact the webmaster of the site and ask him or her to make a change. Once the information has been removed and Google’s search engine crawl has visited the page again, the information will no longer appear in Google’s search results.

How to contact webmaster.

Method 1: Find a ‘Contact us’ link or an email address for the webmaster on the site itself.

Method 2: Look up a site’s webmaster information using a special search called a ‘Whois’ (“who is?”) search. You can perform a Whois search using Google: just search for [ whois www.example.com ]. You’ll probably be able to find an email address.

Method 3: If you’re unable to reach the webmaster, try contacting the site’s hosting company, also usually listed in the Whois result.

If you need to urgently remove site content containing personal information from search results, you can use Google’s removal tool to expedite the process.
