Google your name plus the words “phone number”, “email address”, or “address”. Do you see your sensitive personal info on data brokerage sites? Google has a tool to request a takedown of that info from Google itself (but doesn’t remove it from the other sites). Steps for Google removal request: - click the three vertical dots next to the Google results you want removed - click "remove result" - click “it shows my personal contact info”, following remaining steps Sometimes Google approves the removal, sometimes they don’t. The info still exists outside of Google. There are tools available to remove details on the data brokerage site itself over time including @deleteme!
