Android Authority writer Megan Ellis describes using Google's Results About You feature, which scans search results for a user's phone number, email, home address, and in some regions ID or Social Security numbers. When it finds a match, Google sends a notification and lets the user request removal of the listing, which Google says it will delete for all users if the request meets its criteria. The tool is accessed through the Google app's profile menu or a dedicated website.
