Personal information guide
Remove Your Phone Number or Home Address From Google
Start by identifying the exact page exposing your personal contact details. A request to Google and a request to the source website address different parts of the problem.
First separate the search result from the source.
Record the result URL, the source page and the type of contact information shown. You do not need to publish those details elsewhere to document the concern.
Google can consider eligible personal information requests under its current policies. Removing a result from Search does not itself remove the information from the original website. Eligibility and public interest limits apply. Open Google’s current Results about you guidance before submitting anything.
Choose the request route for the concern.
Use the platform’s current instructions for contact information rather than treating every unwanted page as the same type of removal.
- For eligible contact details appearing in Google, review Results about you or the detailed request route in Google’s guidance.
- For a people search listing, also review the source website’s official privacy or removal process.
- For information you control, review what you can change directly on the account or page.
- For a news article, official record or a wider dispute, identify the source and seek a separate assessment before assuming a request applies.
Keep a short action record.
A clear record helps you tell an open request from a confirmed change.
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Public page | The exact result and source URLs. Keep the record private. |
| Concern | Which contact detail is exposed, without copying unnecessary sensitive information. |
| Request | The route used, submission date and confirmation reference. |
| Status | Pending, approved, denied or another status actually shown by the provider. |
| Follow up | What remains available and the next sensible review date. |
Check what changed before closing the issue.
Treat the source page and Google result as separate checks.
Keep the confirmation message with the relevant URL. If a result changes, review whether the source still displays the information. If a request is denied, read the stated reason before deciding whether different evidence or another route is appropriate. Do not submit repeated unsupported requests simply because the first outcome was disappointing.
New pages and republished listings may create a separate concern later. Keep your records organized by source, so one approved request does not become an assumption that every copy has disappeared.
Decide whether you want help with ongoing exposure.
For eligible data broker and people search sources, RR’s standard partner route is delivered by DeleteMe. A broader reputation concern may need a different scope.
Review the selected plan’s covered sources, billing, reporting and renewal terms. Enrollment and standard removal requests are handled by DeleteMe, and RR may receive referral compensation. Keep identity documents out of RR’s public inquiry form. Provide verification material only through the provider’s appropriate process or an agreed secure channel.
