How to delete what is posted about you online

Have you ever searched for your home phone number on Google and see your name and address show on the results page? Follow the instructions in the video to have your phone number removed from the Google phone book.

How to delete other personal online information? First of all, you have to know what is posted about you online. You can simply do this by searching your name in the Google search engine.  The results might show information you wish they were not published. How to remove this information from the internet? Here are a few steps:

1.       Find the webmaster of the site (bottom of the webpage)

2.       Send him/her an e-mail with the request to remove your information

If the content is removed from the website, it will not appear in the search results anymore. It might take a few weeks for search engines to change the results.

For more sensitive information, such as credit card- or bank account numbers, you can directly contact the search engine directly.  They will contact the site hosting company and request the page to be taken down from the web.
