Google content removal assistance

Google removes results from Search in defined situations: copyright infringement under the DMCA, content that violates specific laws, and certain categories of personal information such as financial or identification numbers and non-consensual intimate imagery. Each has its own form, evidence requirements and review process, and submissions are published to the Lumen database.

We prepare the right request for your situation, with the evidence Google reviewers look for, and track each URL. Removal from Search does not delete the page from its host, so we usually pair these requests with reports to the host or platform.

Common infringement scenarios

• Infringing copies of your content ranking for your product or course name
• Leaked files indexed from file hosts
• Pages exposing personal identification or financial information
• Content that a court has found unlawful
• Outdated personal results in EU/UK contexts (right to be forgotten)

What we need from you

• The exact search result URLs
• The basis: your original work, the court order, or the personal information involved
• For copyright: ownership evidence; for legal requests: the order or statutory basis
• For EU/UK delisting: your connection to the content and why it is no longer relevant

How the case is handled

1. 1
   Basis assessment

   Copyright, legal, personal information or EU/UK delisting; the forms and standards differ.
2. 2
   Request preparation

   URLs, evidence and statements prepared for the specific Google form.
3. 3
   Submission and follow-up

   Filed with your authorization; requests for more information handled; results recorded.
4. 4
   Host-side reports

   Parallel notices to the host or platform where possible, so the page itself comes down.

What this service does not guarantee

• That Google will delist a given URL
• Removal of the page from its host; that depends on the host
• Delisting of accurate news reporting or public-interest content
