The Google Search that appears when you enter your name will not include your phone number, email address, or home address.

The feature can be useful for removing some of your personal information from your Google Search, but it does not mean the information is removed from the internet or that particular website. The information will still exist, but it won’t appear when you search your name, so people will have a harder time finding it.

It is possible to file a request to “Remove this result” in its Beta version.

• Search your name in Google.

• Click on the three vertical dots next to the website that has the information you want removed.

• Press “Remove result” in top right.

• There are five options, but for phone number, email and home address, choose the “It shows my personal contact info.” For other requests, press the arrow next to the other bars.

• Press the arrow on the right then press “Continue” three times once you have reviewed Google’s terms and logged into the Google account you would like linked.

• Type in your name and the matching contact information with what you want removed. For example, if you are trying to scrub your personal phone number, make sure that is entered. Press “Continue.”

• Press “Send.”

• You can press “I’m done” to get back to the Google Search page.

• If you would like to review your requests, press the “Go to removal requests” bar.

• It can take a few days, but Google will notify you via your listed email of the removal decision. You can also check your Google activity to see the status of the request.
