Google's New Tool: How to Erase Your Digital Footprint! ππ Ever feel like the internet knows way too much about you? Well, Google has just made it easier to clean up your online presence! Their newly redesigned tool, "Results About You," helps you find and remove personal information floating around the web. Finally, right? It's been a long time coming, 28 years of prodding, begging, and complaining.
Let's face it, Google has a reputation for being the ultimate information hoarder. But now, they're giving you a way to reclaim some privacy. The tool is straightforward: enter your email address, home address, phone number, and full name, and it'll show you the results.
Click the three dots next to each entry to see if it's eligible for removal. If it is, request its removal, and the tool will track your progress. It's about time, Google!
If you want to go the extra mile, check out DeleteMe. This service has real humans (yes, those still exist) scanning the web for mentions of your personal info and requesting removal. It's like having your own digital cleanup crew.
"Results About You" also allows you to update outdated information. If a search result is out of date, click the three dots and request a refresh. Google's system will re-crawl the page to get the latest info. So, whether you want to erase or update your digital footprint, this tool has you covered.
This is a game-changer for anyone concerned about online privacy. So, take control of your personal information and give "Results About You" a try. It can't hurt, and it might just give you some peace of mind.
