Google to notify if users’ personal info appear in search

New Delhi, 07-December-2022, By IBW Team

Google to rollout anti-misinformation campaign in India

Google on Thursday said that starting early next year, it will notify users if their personal information like phone number, email, and home address appear in Search results.

The ‘Results about you’ tool will make it easier to make removal requests of personal information from Google Search, said the company.

“Early next year, you’ll also be able to opt into alerts if new results appear with personally identifying information, so you can quickly request their removal from Google Search,” said the tech giant.

Apart from the new tool, the removal requests can also be done globally by anyone using Google‘s form-based system.

The feature has already started appearing for some Search users, IANS reported from San Francisco.

With this new tool, if you find your personal information like your home address, email address, phone number, or any other information on Google Search, just click on the three-dot overflow menu that appears in the top-right corner of each result.

Currently, to remove any personally identifiable information (PII), you need to go to a Google Support page and fill out a form containing the URL you wanted to be removed from the search results.
