What we remove · Personal-data pages
Remove personal data pages from Google
People-search sites publish a home address next to a full name and a date of birth. They are also the category with the clearest legal route and the highest success rate.
What this covers
The links in this category.
People-search aggregators, address and telephone directories, electoral-roll resellers and leaked-document indexes.
Why it can be removed
The argument that works.
These sites process personal data with no lawful basis worth the name, which makes a data-protection objection straightforward rather than finely balanced. Most operate an opt-out they do not advertise; where they do not, or where they re-add the record weeks later, the objection goes to the regulator and the delisting request to Google.
What we will not take money for
A record you have published yourself, or one a company is required by law to publish, is not something we can remove.
Typical route
In this order, until the link goes.
The assessment confirms the sequence for your link and names it in the engagement letter. The removal window for this category starts at 35 days.

1. Data-protection erasure
For UK and EU residents, an Article 17 erasure request to the publisher or site owner as the data controller — asking for the page itself to come down, not merely to stop being listed.
-
2. Right to be forgotten
Delisting requests to Google and Bing, prepared with the balancing test set out by the courts and the ICO, so the page stops appearing in searches for your name even where the publisher will not move.
-
3. Platform policy
Forum, review and social platforms each have rules on harassment, doxxing, impersonation and outdated content. We frame the request in the platform's own language and escalate past first-line moderation.
-
4. De-indexing and cache removal
Once the source is down or altered, we secure removal of the Google index entry, cached copies and image results, then verify across regions.
Typical timeline: Two to four weeks.
By platform
The specific ones we are asked about most.

Remove a people-search listing from Google
Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages and the rest publish your address beside your age and your relatives. This is the category with the clearest legal route and the highest success rate — and the one that reappears most often, which is what the twelve months of monitoring are for.

Remove a mugshot from Google
Mugshot sites republish an arrest photograph regardless of what happened next, then rank it for your name. Charges dropped, case dismissed, conviction spent: the page does not change and the search result does not care.
