You are visting a search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo etc.) and, when you enter a combination of your first and last name, you find a search result that is wrong or irrelevant. What can you do?
Contact the search engine (check on their website, there is often a dedicated form) and ask for the search result to be delisted. It is necessary that you explain why this result is no longer relevant or wrong.
Examples:
- You no longer want your old photos to be accessible via a search engine.
- Information about your sexual orientation is disseminated.
- By entering your first and last name in a serach engine, you find an old CV.
Attention:
- The delisting of a search result on a search engine does not mean that the information is deleted on the source website.
- The right of information of the public can hinder the delisting in certain cases.
