Google now lets you delete your personal info from search results

Google has enhanced its'Results About You' privacy tool to help users monitor and remove personal information like government ID numbers from search results, according to PCWorld. The update includes a streamlined process for removing explicit images through a three-dot menu option and allows bulk removal requests. These privacy improvements are rolling out in the US first as part of Google's Safer Internet Day initiatives, giving users better control over their digital footprint. In celebration of Safer Internet Day, Google rolled out an update to its "Results About You" feature and launched a new, simpler tool for removing unwanted explicit images from search results. With Results About You, you can tell Google to keep track of search results where your personal information appears, and then ask Google to remove those search results. The feature has previously been able to track search results with your home address, email address, and phone number, but now the search engine will also be able to warn you about search results that include your government documents, such as passports or driver's licenses. The update to Results About You will first be rolled out in the United States over the coming days, but Google is working on adapting the feature for other regions as well.
