Why does Google not remove images we ask for removal most of the time?

The reason for this is that the images appearing in the search results come from websites that do not belong to Google. Since Google does not own these sites, it cannot remove them. You need to contact the webmasters of the websites to remove the content.

Can I find out who searched me on Google?

Yes. You can use Google Alerts for this. After signing in to Google, go to google.com/alerts. Write your name in the alert box you will see at the top of the page and click the Create Alert button.

Can we remove someone else's name and information from Google?

You might be wondering “I want to remove my name from Google search, but I’m not sure how.” Learn how to do it by continuing to read our article.

Get Rid of Your Social Media Accounts

You should deactivate or delete your social media, shopping, and web service accounts. First, determine which social networks you have an account on. Check out all shopping and social media sites. Then, deactivate your account by entering these accounts one by one or delete them completely. The first thing that will appear when you search for yourself on the Internet is your information on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. You can make your profiles “private” as an alternative to deleting or deactivating your accounts. However, this may not give full results.

Disconnect Yourself from Data Collectors

Data brokers collect data from everything you search online and sell it to places for personalized advertising or other purposes. They can access your phone number, address, and e-mail address. There are many applications to get rid of this, to completely delete your information from such places.

Contact the Webmasters

Make it clear to them why you would like the content you have specified removed and what harm it caused you. If someone has posted your sensitive personal information (such as bank account number, social security number) and the webmaster does not remove it, you can send a legal request to Google for this.

If you have a social media account or a website with your name that you no longer use, and your name still appears on that site in search results because the site is not updated, you can contact them first to update the site. However, sometimes your name may still appear in the search results for that site despite updating the site. In such a case, you can use the Remove Outdated Content tool. You can enter your URL and click request removal. Although it is a bit of a long process, it is quite effective for removing your name from Google Search.

Destroy Your Links

Destroy everything linked to your e-mail address. Do not forget that you can also be reached by the usernames of the places where you registered with your e-mail address. When they reach your name, they can follow you by your name. In other words, disconnect every link to your e-mail address.
