How To Delete Personal Information About Myself On The Internet?. by smobnology(m): 5:03pm On Jan 27, 2016
If you find personal information about yourself on the
Internet, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to
get that information removed.
In most cases, once information is on the Internet, it
is there to stay. Whether other people can find it,
depends on how easy it is to find through a web
Search Engine.
If you own the website where your personal
information is found, you can remove the information
from the web pages or you can delete the web page
or website entirely. If you want to keep the
information online but do not want search engines to
find the information you can password protect the
information or setup a robots.txt file to block search
engines.
For social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter,
and other social networking sites, you can choose
what personal information to displayed to other
users. These settings are found through the Privacy
settings in each of the services. However, not all
information can be controlled, and some of it may be
publicly displayed or have the potential of being
displayed in the future.
If your personal information is on a website you have
no control over or ownership of, you can attempt to
ask the webmaster or web host of the site to remove
your information. In some cases after time they may
comply with your request.
Many search engines have policies where they
remove the links to sites based on the content. When
we say "remove," we mean that the links are no
longer indexed, but the information remains on the
Internet. For example, Google may remove links to
pages that contain any of the below personal
information.
National identification numbers like U.S. Social
Security Number, Argentina Single Tax
Identification Number, Brazil Cadastro de
pessoas FĂ­sicas, Korea Resident Registration
Number, China Resident Identity Card, etc.
