Tired of your old phone number or address coming up in Google searches? Now you can ask the search giant to remove it.
You ever Googled yourself? No, it’s not an improper question—we’re talking about the actual process of putting your own name into Google and seeing what comes up. You might be surprised. Shady websites charge fees to list huge databases of personal information, matching names with addresses and phone numbers that may no longer be accurate or that you simply may not want to be visible from a search engine.Google is obviously the largest and most popular search engine, and the company finally has a tool that promises to help people take control of how they appear in searches. To make use of it, you’ll obviously have to have a Google account. Make sure you’re logged-in, and then head to myactivity.google.com/results-about-you to begin the process.
