Why is my personal information in search engine results, even though it’s been removed from broker sites?

Personal Information Removal targets data brokers and people-search sites, but your information may exist on other sites that can still appear in search results. Search engines may also still show your information on cached data broker site results until it crawls the updated site again.   

The timing with which different search engines update their results varies but, over time, Personal Information Removal should reduce how much of your information turns up in search results overall. However, we cannot completely prevent your personal information from ever appearing in search results since we only remove personal information from data brokers.
