How to request removal from the source website
A practical tutorial for finding the publisher’s privacy route, documenting the request, and keeping source removal separate from Google delisting.

- Find the publisher’s privacy, support, or opt-out instructions.

Removing a result from Google and removing the source page are different jobs. First open the result and identify the publisher. Look for its privacy policy, support form, account controls, or named opt-out process. Read the requirements before sharing anything and submit only what is needed to identify the record. Save the request date, confirmation, and any case number. A confirmation that a request was filed is not proof that the page is gone. Recheck the source page on the publisher’s stated timeline, and keep filed, pending, needs review, and removed as separate statuses. If the page is a public people-search or broker listing, a free Leak Check Me review can help you organize candidate links before choosing an eligible follow-up.
