Worried about your online privacy? Then evaluate the convenient and also free tool from Google, advises Highload.

Manage your information in XNUMX easy steps

Almost every person in our time leaves a bright digital footprint. The Internet remembers everything: it stores our old photos that we can be ashamed of, abandoned social media profiles, posts and comments that we forgot about.

Just imagine: home addresses, phone numbers and other confidential information are floating freely in a large digital cloud! Today you can find information on anyone to get an idea of ​​what kind of person they are. And, if you're lucky, even find his home address, phone number and email.

If you haven't googled before, give it a try! We promise you will be amazed.

Results about you

Internet presence and privacy are quite topical issues. In early 2022, Google released a new tool, Results About You. While it doesn't worry too much about old photos, it does take care to remove search results that contain your phone number, home address, or email address.

Once you find this information on the Internet, you need to select the menu icon and then click "Clear result". Afterwards, you can also track the status of your deletion requests in the Google app in real time:

    1. Sign in to your Google account. Click on your profile photo to open the menu.
    2. Select "Results about you"If you want to check the status of requests to delete information about yourself.
    3. Review your requests to delete information. Track their status, including those under review or already approved.

 

This tool was announced in May and launched in September. It's not perfect yet, but it looks like a step in the right direction.

There should be additional features as well. We may soon be able to remove all of our information from search results or receive convenient notifications (this feature is already planned for next year).

“While deleting these results does not remove your contact information from the internet as a whole, we do our best to protect information about you. This includes helping you keep track of new results. From the beginning of next year, you will be able to subscribe to alerts if there are new results with your contact information so that you can request their deletion, ”Google representatives wrote.
