Google has expanded options for keeping personal information private from online searches.
The company said Friday it will let people request that more types of content such as personal contact information like phone numbers, email and physical addresses be removed from search results., such as confidential log-in credentials.
“Privacy and online safety go hand in hand. And when you’re using the internet, it’s important to have control over how your sensitive, personally identifiable information can be found," it said. But information increasing pops up in unexpected places and is used in new ways, so policies need to evolve, the company said.
