Understand your options

What is online information removal?

Online information removal is the process of deleting, de-indexing, or reducing the visibility of personal or damaging information on the internet. It can mean removing content at the source website, removing a result from search engines like Google and Bing, opting out of data broker databases, or suppressing a result by ranking accurate content above it.

Approach What it does Best for Limits
Source removal The website deletes or edits the page, photo, or listing. Mugshot sites, blogs, forums, articles, review and complaint sites Copies on other sites need separate requests.
Search removal (de-indexing) A search engine drops the URL from its results. Doxxing, contact details, explicit images, outdated pages The page still exists and may show in other search engines.
Data broker opt-out A people-search site suppresses or deletes your profile. Addresses, phone numbers, relatives, age, emails Profiles can reappear when databases refresh.
Suppression Positive, accurate content is published and ranked above the unwanted result. Content that cannot be removed Nothing is deleted; rankings can change over time.

No provider controls every website. Be cautious of anyone who promises that every copy of something will disappear from the entire internet.

  • Google removal policies: request removal of doxxing content, non-consensual explicit images, and results from sites with exploitative pay-to-remove practices.
  • California DROP: California residents can send one deletion request to registered data brokers through the state’s Delete Request and Opt-out Platform.

FAQ

Online information removal: common questions

Often, yes. Data brokers and people-search sites usually offer opt-outs, many publishers will remove or update pages that break their own policies or the law, and Google will remove certain results, such as contact details, doxxing content, and non-consensual explicit images. Some content cannot be deleted at the source, so the right plan depends on the specific URLs involved.

No. Removing a result from Google Search only stops it from appearing in Google. The original page stays online until the website owner deletes it, and it may still appear in Bing or other search engines. Source removal and search removal are separate steps.

Cost depends on how many URLs are involved, which websites publish them, and what type of work is needed. Many data broker opt-outs can be done yourself for free using our step-by-step guides. For professional help, request a free assessment and you will get a scope and price before any work starts.

It varies by website. Data broker opt-outs often process within a few days to several weeks. Publisher and search engine requests can take days to weeks, and some require follow-up. Ask for a time estimate tied to your specific URLs.

Yes. Data brokers refresh their databases from public records and other sources, so profiles can reappear. Copies of an article or photo can also be republished on other sites. Periodic monitoring and re-checking the same searches is the best way to catch repostings early.

Many mugshot and arrest-listing websites will remove a booking photo on request, and several US states restrict sites from charging a fee to remove one. Removing a website listing does not seal or expunge the official record; that requires a court process.

Sometimes. Publishers may update, anonymize, or unpublish an article, especially when charges were dropped, a case was dismissed, or the story is outdated or inaccurate. Decisions are at the publisher’s discretion, so a well-documented request matters.

Send the links or search terms where the content appears, what you want removed, and your goal. Do not send passwords, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or intimate images in an initial inquiry.
