Since release, the Results About You on Google Search has remained fairly consistent in ensuring the safety of users’ sensitive data, together with providing the ability to remove it upon request. The company has recently released an update to further simplify this process.
Newly introduced is a redesigned hub, along with the ability to edit any outdated search results. It has also sped up the process, where users can now submit removal requests directly from Search by simply tapping on the three dots beside the search results.
If you have deleted or edited content from a website but the changes are not reflected by Google Search, a simple refresh should be able to resolve this. Refreshing will let Search “recrawl the page” and obtain the most up-to-date information.
Disappointingly, as noted by Engadget, the Results About You tool still remains inaccessible to users in Malaysia. Google has yet to reveal which regions will eventually receive the feature, let alone confirm where it is already available.
