When a user creates a record in Google Person Finder, they are required to set an expiration date for that record. The record will expire at that date, meaning it will be unable to be viewed or located by users of Google Person Finder and will be deleted in accordance with the PFIF standard and our Privacy Policy. At any time, any user is able to extend the expiration date or request deletion of the record. Several months after a crisis has subsided, we take down the Google Person Finder repository for that crisis and in essence expire all the records. For more information on what happens to the data, see the FAQ: What happens to the data when the crisis has subsided?
