    Google has a form you can use to ask them to hide specific web pages from search results. This works best for pages that show personal information like your home address, phone number, ID numbers, or private images.

    Google will not remove news articles or pages that are in the public interest. But for data-broker sites and pages with your contact info, this process works well and is free.
