Remove information from Google

You can ask Google to remove your sensitive personal information, like your bank account number, or an image of your handwritten signature, or a nude or sexually explicit image or video of you that’s been shared without your consent, from Google search results.

What Google will remove

See our Removals Policies to learn what information Google will remove.

If you want to remove a photo, profile link, or webpage from Google Search results, you usually need to ask the website owner (webmaster) to remove the information.

Why contact the webmaster?

Even if Google deletes the site or image from our search results, the webpage still exists and can be found through the URL to the site, social media sharing, or other search engines. This is why your best option is to contact the webmaster, who can remove the page entirely.

If a photo or information shows up in Google search results, it just means that the information exists on the Internet and it doesn’t mean that Google endorses it.

What do you want to do?

  • Remove information you see in Google Search
  • Prevent information from showing in Google Search

The information I want removed is:

  • In Google's search results and on a website
  • Only in Google’s search results

  • No, how do I do that?
  • No, I couldn't find any contact information
  • No, I prefer not to due to the nature of the information shown
  • I want to remove information about myself under European data protection law
  • Yes, but they haven’t responded
  • Yes, and the page has been updated

  • A picture of myself
  • A government-issued ID number
  • Incorrect or inaccurate information about myself
  • An inappropriate, malicious or spammy site
