Google will now let people remove phone numbers, addresses from search results

Google is expanding the types of personal information users can request be removed from searches, including phone numbers and email addresses.

The company said it is updating its policies to allow search users to have more of their personal information removed from results.

The new policies now include contact information such as phone number, email address, or physical address, as well as information that could increase the risk of identity theft including log-in credentials.
