Flowchart for request removal from Google

Google being a stickler for process oriented detail and expert data manipulation has created an organized flowchart which anybody can use to request a data removal option.  Scanned copy of an ID card of the person requesting data removal as well as an ID of the person whose data is requested to be removed should be provided. A relationship between a removal request sender and an object must be specified clearly in the data application sent to Google.

The URL of the link which appears in case the to-be removed person/object’s name is typed in a Google bar should also be copy pasted into an application. A succinct explanation of all reasons as to why the data in question or the specific search result in consideration should be considered extinct or irrelevant should be offered.

If the data in question is relevant on a personal basis to the person sending the removal request then that too should be mentioned in the form. Any reasons for inappropriateness of the data should also be submitted.

Unique features of the Request Removals form

Google’s logic behind introducing so many rules concerning request removal forms is very simple. There will be many people who try to send in deletion demands with less than honest intentions. An issue could well be unfair suppression of the virtual coverage of a competitor. All information demanded by Google is only to justify actual authenticity and honesty of the person who wants certain data to be removed from the data returned by search engine pages.

The identification demanded by search engines is of a flexible nature in order to suit convenience of people from all walks of life. A government department issued ID while preferred is not mandatory and neither is a passport deemed to be a compulsory document.

Point to remember

For those of who do not really want a popularly accessible search engine to contain the unique identification number written on your ID, there is no cause for concern. You will be given the option of obscuring the unique pin number on the copy of your ID. Anyway google has assured all users that it will be destroying all copies of ID after receiving them within a maximum period of 1 month.

Bottom line is that there are many precautions being taken in order to ensure that request removals are authentic and are not provided by impersonators. According to recently related data, 20% of deletion requests came from crime related data while 25% are related to child porn images.
