TaxiDriver Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 When I had my taxis and private hire vehicle, like many people I used the new tangled t'internet to advertise and had a couple of web pages/small sites, Trouble is I'm no longer in the taxi business but now seem to get more calls particularly late evening now than I did when I was trading. Is there any way to remove my internet footprint so that people don't find me when they're googling "taxis in Chelmsford' or anything similar ?

ghosthunter Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Not sure if this works for businesses or if its just for personal info but its worth a shot... Method 4 – Right to be ForgottenIf you happen to live in the EU or Argentina, then you have another tool at your disposal. The Right to be Forgotten concept basically was created so that people could ask search engines to remove specific results for searches of their name if the person’s privacy rights outweigh the interests of the content in those search results. In order to request a removal, you simply have to fill out a form that Google provides. However, this isn’t a surefire way to remove whatever you want from search results. Google looks at each request carefully and make the final decision on whether to remove it or not. According to Google, they have only approved about half of all removal requests. Also, stuff like criminal convictions, malpractice lawsuits, public misconduct, financial scams, etc will probably not be removed using this tool.

Marki Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 There has to be something there to be found. If you created it then delete it. What sites does the search engine link to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 As said Google your phone number, find out where it's listed and take it down. Suspect you will continue to get calls for quite some time though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
