If you see your information using Google Search, you can use this tool to remove it

In today's digital life, protecting personal information is extremely important. Once your private information is made public, it can lead to many inconveniences and dangers. And in an unexpected way, Google, the world's leading technology company, has provided a hidden feature to help you track and protect your personal data.

According to Statista, Google holds about 83% of the online search market, far surpassing competitors such as Microsoft's Bing, Yahoo or DuckDuckGo. This means that if someone wants to find information about you, they will most likely search on Google first.

Unlike simply asking Google to remove private results, this hidden feature automatically searches for your phone number, email address, and home address, then notifies you when it finds the information. there. Once you find it, you can ask Google to remove it from search results.

It's worth noting that Google doesn't remove your personal information from the internet, but it does scrub it from Google Search and make it difficult for others to find it. This raises questions about the security of personal data on the internet and how we can protect ourselves from unwanted publicity. Please follow the instructions below to try it out.
