Guides

Understand what is visible.
Choose what to change.

Practical reading before your next job application. Start with a name search, or choose the guide for a page you already know.

These guides explain free steps you can take yourself. Removal depends on the information and the applicable rules; no outcome is guaranteed.

• Your name search

  What recruiters see when they google your name

  Review what a name search can reveal: old profiles, directory listings, photos and documents. Learn how to check what is public and consider changes to information you control.

• Website removal

  How to remove your name from a website, step by step

  Find the website operator and write a GDPR erasure request for specific pages. Understand when the right applies, response deadlines, exceptions and how to follow up.

• Old accounts

  How to delete an old forum account

  Recover access or contact the forum operator when you cannot sign in. Separate account closure from removing identifying posts, and check what remains in replies.

• Search and source

  Google Results about you vs GDPR erasure

  Compare Google’s contact-information removal tool, source-site erasure and European name-based delisting. Choose the route to consider and check both the original page and search results.

The scan searches public web results, not every possible source.
