Google Updates Tool to Simplify Removal of Personal Information from Search

The redesigned 'Results About You' feature now includes proactive monitoring, direct removal requests, and outdated result updates.

Google has revamped its 'Results About You' tool, initially launched in 2022, to make removing personal information from search results easier and more accessible.
The updated tool introduces proactive monitoring, sending users notifications when new personal information appears in search results, allowing for quick action.
Users can now directly request the removal of personal details, such as phone numbers and addresses, by clicking the three dots next to a search result and selecting the updated removal options.
A new feature enables users to request a refresh of outdated search results, prompting Google to recrawl web pages to reflect the latest information.
The tool is currently available in select countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and India, with plans to expand its availability in the future.
