Remove your personal info from Google

To remove your personal info from Google, use the "Results about you" tool at myactivity.google.com/results-about-you. Add your name, phone, email, address and even ID numbers, and Google finds matching results you can request to remove. This hides the result from Google Search only; the page itself stays online until the website removes it.

Why Google is usually where it starts

Most people never visit a people-search site directly. They search a name on Google, and the top results are often Spokeo, Whitepages or TruePeopleSearch listings with an address right in the snippet. Cleaning up Google cuts off the easiest path to your details.

Hide the result, then remove the source

Think of it in two layers. Google can hide a result from its own search, which is quick and helps right away. But the information still sits on the original page, where Bing, DuckDuckGo or anyone with the link can find it. The lasting fix is removing it from the source site, then letting Google drop the dead result.

Finds results about you

We look for search results that expose your phone number, email, home address or photos.

Removes it at the source

Delisting hides a result from Google, but the page stays online. We go after the source site too, so it stops resurfacing.

Keeps watching

Turn on monitoring and we alert you when something new about you shows up.

Google: frequently asked questions

Does removing a result from Google delete the information?

No. It only hides the result from Google Search. The page is still online and can be found on other search engines or directly. To delete it, the website has to remove it.

What will Google not remove?

Google generally doesn't remove results from government sites, educational sites, news outlets or business websites, even if they mention you.

Can I remove explicit or intimate images from Google?

Yes, through a separate Google request for explicit or intimate personal images. It's built for images shared without consent, including AI-generated fakes.

How do I get alerts when new results appear?

Turn on notifications in Results about you. Google checks regularly and alerts you by email or in the Google app when it finds new matches.

The listing is gone but Google still shows it. Why?

Google may still show an old snippet until it recrawls the page. Use Google's outdated content tool to ask it to refresh the result.
