Google has expanded its policy on the removal of personal information!
Tech giant Google has long accepted requests from its users to remove personal information from search results. The company will now accept applications for the removal of contact information such as phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses.
Google will also remove login credentials, if any. However, these removals will only apply to Google Search. So it will be necessary to contact the necessary website to remove any content.
Google also announced the following about its new app:
“Maximizing access to information while giving people control of their sensitive, personally identifiable information is a critical balance that needs to be struck. We believe these updates are an important step to achieve this goal and provide people with the tools they need to protect their online security and privacy.”
Google will continue to review to ensure the accuracy of removal requests. So it will not make any removals for the personal information of publicly held persons, which is known to everyone. The firm had previously limited removal requests to bank and credit card information only because of fraud issues.
The company has also been accepting removal requests for the image search portion of photos of Google users under the age of 18 since last year.
