"Google may remove personally identifiable information (PII) that has potential to create significant risks of identity theft, financial fraud, harmful direct contact, or other specific harms," the company said. "This includes doxxing, which is when your contact info is shared in a malicious way."
The company said that it will not automatically remove results, unless they are harmful or a threat to the person.
A Google representative told Reuters its research has found an increasing amount of personally identifiable information online. The representative said she now expects to accept a higher percentage of takedown requests, although Google wouldn't remove information that appears as part of the public record on governmental or official sites.
