Request de-indexing from search engines
Official forms and information for asking search engines to remove results that expose personal information. Removing a result does not remove the original page.
Start with the source: when possible, ask the website hosting the information to remove it. You can also submit a separate de-indexing request to each search engine.
Request removal of personal information, doxxing content or other content covered by Google's policies.
