Google has announced a series of enhancements to its email service, Gmail, with the goal of giving users more control over their personal information online. This update includes a new feature that will allow users to more effectively manage the appearance of their personal information in search results.
The feature, integrated into the "Results About You" tool, will send users a notification whenever their personal information, such as phone numbers, home addresses or emails, is detected online. This measure is part of the search engine's strategy to strengthen the privacy and security of its users.
The "Results About You" tool offers a personalized control panel that will allow users to review and request the removal of unwanted information from search results. This feature will be available both in the Gmail mobile app for iOS and Android devices, as well as in the web version.
Additionally, this update includes an updated policy for explicit personal images. In the event that a user finds sensitive content in the search results and wants it removed, they can request it directly through the same tool.
While removing content from Google search results can help protect privacy, it does not guarantee complete removal of content across the web. The main subsidiary company of the American Alphabet
is working closely with users to improve the online privacy experience and provide more effective tools for managing personal information.
From the beginning, these updates will be available in the United States and in English. However, the company plans to expand these enhancements to other countries and languages in a continued effort to strengthen online privacy and give users greater control over their personal information in the digital age.
