Erase Data from Web & Databases
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My name and related content still appear on major search engines and a variety of government and corporate public databases, even after I believed the records were no longer active. The goal is to erase that footprint—from personal-info snippets on Google and Bing to cached images, outdated articles, and any entries inside state or federal datasets and commercial data‐broker repositories.
Scope of work
The assignment covers three broad areas:
• Search engines: identify every URL, cache, or snippet that holds my personal information, images, videos, or inaccurate/outdated statements, then submit and track removal or de-indexing requests through tools such as Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, and relevant Right-to-Be-Forgotten or US privacy request forms.
• Government records: file the correct opt-out, sealing, or amendment requests with municipal, state, or federal agencies that legally allow it, and provide the paperwork trail.
• Corporate databases: work through major data brokers, credit header sites, and other corporate directories to opt me out, suppress, or fully delete the records.
Deliverables
1. An initial audit spreadsheet listing every live result or database record found.
2. A step-by-step action log showing when each removal request was submitted, the method used, and supporting documents.
3. Written confirmations, screenshots, or official letters/emails proving successful deletion or suppression.
4. A final report summarizing any items that cannot be removed, with reasons and next-step suggestions.
Acceptance criteria
All audit items are either removed, de-indexed, or documented as irretrievable with a legal explanation. The end state must show zero publicly accessible links or database entries for the items flagged in the audit.
The task relies on familiarity with privacy statutes (GDPR/CCPA where applicable), Google/Bing removal tools, FOIA requests, LexisNexis/Thomson Reuters opt-outs, and data-broker workflows. Continuous communication on progress is essential until the footprint is demonstrably eliminated or minimized.
