How to remove your personal information from Google
Updated 9 November 2026
Google doesn't host most of what it shows, so the best fix is to remove the page at the source; the search result then disappears by itself. When a site won't cooperate, Google has two forms: one for results showing your contact details or ID numbers, and one for the EU right to be forgotten.
We do this for you. You don't have to do anything.
- Autopilot sends the request to every company we find, plus dozens of other data brokers that likely hold your data.
- We send the reminders, handle the replies and keep track of the one-month deadline.
- We rescan you every week. If your data comes back, we send a new request.
- All you do is enter your name, confirm your email and give us permission. Free during the beta.
1. Remove it at the source
Ask the website to delete the page or your details. In the EU and UK, a GDPR erasure request gives you a legal right to that. Use our free letter generator. Once the page is gone, you can ask Google to refresh its copy with its outdated content tool.
2. Google's form for personal information
Google lets you request removal of results that show your phone number, email, home address, ID numbers, or login details. Search for "remove personal information from Google" to find the current form in your Google account. Google reviews each request.
3. The EU right to be forgotten
Under European privacy law you can ask Google to delist results for your name that are inaccurate, outdated or no longer relevant. Google weighs this against public interest, so it works best for private people and old information. The form is called "Request to delist under European privacy law".
What Google can't remove
Delisting only removes the result from Google. The page itself stays online and may show up in other search engines or be scraped by AI tools, so step 1 is always worth doing first.
Questions
How long does Google take?
Usually days to a few weeks. Google emails you the decision.
Will it also remove the result from Bing?
No. Bing has its own form for European privacy requests, so send one there too.
