Google removal request, pre-filled for you

Your personal information sits on people-search sites, and those sites surface when someone searches your name. Google can drop those results from Search. Fill in the form on the left, and we generate the exact text for each field.

Submit and watch your email

Google reviews each request by hand, so the timeline varies. You'll get an email with the outcome: approved, denied, or a request for more detail. If it's denied, the email explains why and what to change.

What Google's removal tool actually does

Google's "Results about you" tool removes URLs from Google Search results when those pages contain certain categories of personal information. It does not remove the underlying webpage. The broker site still holds your data; your name just stops appearing when someone searches for you on Google.

That distinction matters. If you only submit the Google removal, your data is still sitting on the broker's servers. The same listing keeps appearing on Bing, DuckDuckGo, and every other search engine. The right order: (1) opt out of the broker source first, (2) then file the Google removal to clear cached search results faster than Google's natural recrawl would.

What Google will and won't remove

Google's removal policy covers:

What Google will not remove: opinions, criticism, public-records information from official government sources, or information about you in a legitimate news context. Google's reviewers apply a public-interest test.

If Google denies your request

Most denials happen because the information isn't in a covered category, the URL doesn't actually display the info, or the source is a recognized news organization. The denial email explains which applies. You can re-submit with added context, and it's often worth doing.

Google handles the search result. The source is a different problem.

Your Google search visibility is the downstream symptom. The broker site hosting your data is the upstream cause. Brokers often re-publish listings within weeks of a removal, so if you clear the Google result but not the source, new URLs keep appearing and the cycle starts again. Removing yourself from the broker source is what stops the loop.

Find the URLs, then remove the source

A free Delist scan finds the broker listings exposing your name and gives you the exact URLs for the Google form. From there, Delist removes your personal information from the internet, then re-runs a full scan every month and files again when a listing comes back.
