How to delete false personal information on the Internet
In today's technology age, almost everyone has some harmless personal information floating on the Internet. But it can be a problem when someone writes something defamatory or exposes sensitive information about you.
If you find your false or private data on the Internet, read this article to learn how to handle it.
1. Contact the site owner
First of all, you need to contact the site owner - the person who publishes this information. Determining the contact details on the website and sending a goodwill email about what they posted are false.
Communicating with others is the fastest way to clear up any disagreements and misunderstandings. When the problem is resolved, this is also the fastest way for your information to be removed from the website. If the deal fails, use the next method.
3. Report bad web pages and remove personal information from the Internet
Find contact information
First you need to determine the name, contact information of the person who registered the website with false, libelous information. To do this, try searching with the DomainTools Whois Lookup tool . This site provides detailed information about the site you are looking for. All you need to do is enter the website URL into the search bar.
To view the full page, scroll to the bottom of the page and verify with the CAPTCHA. You can see a contact email under "Registrant Email" or "Administrative Contact". Please use these emails to try to contact the site owner.
At the top of the page, DomainTools also provides information related to the web host in the "Registrar" section. When you know the name of the web hosting company, visit the website and get their contact information, as well as the list of Terms and Conditions of the host. Make a list of terms that webmasters have violated on their websites.
Report all violations terms and conditions to the Host
After that, the next thing you need to do in this battle is to report a violation to their web server.
3. Report privacy or copyright infringement to Google
Another way is to remove information from Google and remove that site from search engines. Google is the largest online information search engine. Therefore, being excluded from Google will nearly destroy every opportunity that site is displayed to users.
However, most likely you will not receive an answer from Google. Only a few cases will Google delete if the following information is published online, including:
Social security number or government ID number.
Your bank account or credit card number.
Your name or business appears on an adult content site.
Infringes copyrighted content such as text or images
In most cases, you can use this form to submit your request to remove content from Google.
4. Report any other violations to Google
If a site posting defamation has violated any privacy rules regarding Google's Terms and Conditions, you still have the opportunity to remove their site from Google, for example:
Site is just spam.
It buys or sells links.
You found malware on the site.
Website contains phishing programs.
Now you know how to delete your information from the Internet and report a defamatory website. However, first of all, please know the security of your personal information in the safest way when using the Internet to avoid unfortunate consequences.
