How Do I Find Information About Myself Online?
It is important that we know how we look for the online world. This can be done by using search engines like Google. Search for your name on Google to see what information about you or others comes up. If you find content online—say, your telephone number or an inappropriate photo of you—that you do not want to appear online, first determine whether you or someone else controls the content. If you have control over content can be easy deleted on the place where you put content. In case we don’t have control over the content that appears on search engines we can ask for example Google to remove problematic content from a search result for us.
