We Remove Personally Damaging Content from Search Results.
If your name is included in a search engine result, newspaper, video, image or webpage, then GDPR Article 17 gives YOU
the Right to Erasure, also known as the Right to Be Forgotten.
(This is not an absolute right, but is based on effective legal arguments).

(This is not an absolute right, but is based on effective legal arguments).
Search results about YOU are YOUR PERSONAL DATA.
The Right to be Forgotten allows private individuals to
CLAIM and CONTROL the results that are returned when their
full name is entered into search engines (e.g. Google and Bing).

Our service typically includes all of the following 10 Steps
1) Consultation - a pre-qualification process which is free of charge and includes helpful guidance and detailed advice.
2) Onboarding - We only accept clients if we believe that it is in their best interest to instruct us and only if we expect to achieve removal of the damaging content.
3) Research across all platforms to locate all links, shares, images and provision of a comprehensive Adverse Media Report.
4) Pre-submission actions, e.g., strategic grouping of subjects and timelines, delinking of dead links, early removal of "easy-win" content or any content which could be harmful to our main case.
5) Submissions drafted under GDPR Article 17 and made to Google, Bing, Yahoo, and derivative search engines.
6) Evidence obtained and provided to search engine case workers as required, e.g.: witness statements, letters from police evidencing crime, change of industry, evidence of criminal record, sentencing or acquittal etc.
7) Appeals drafted (often containing between nineteen and twenty-five detailed and referenced legal arguments) and submitted to The Information Commissioner, if required.
8) Case reviews and resubmissions until removal of the adverse media from search results is achieved. Including removal of unwanted google autocomplete entries and damaging search suggestions.
9) ‘Sweep and submit’- Our researcher performs deep searches 'sweeping' the search engines as they readjust and then submits any links found to Google and Bing for removal. This ensures that all URL's, .AMP links (accelerated mobile pages) and thumbnail images (stored on Google servers) are caught and removed.
10) A full year of support in case any further links or images are unearthed or shared and later appear in search results.

Who Qualifies for the Right to be Forgotten?
The Right to be Forgotten can generally be used to remove the following types of content from Google for searches under individual names:
✔ Spent criminal convictions (explained at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rehabilitation-periods).
✔ People with criminal convictions who received sentences of less than 4 years where the convicted person has successfully completed their licence.
✔ People who have been acquitted or had charges dropped, i.e. evidentially false allegations (we can obtain copy of criminal record if required to evidence this).
✔ Attack websites, e.g. those established for stalking or harassment purposes against a person, or simply to damage their reputation in the eyes of other people.
✔ Company Closures affecting people, where the company was a separate entity from them and where we can evidence that they are now working in a different industry.
✔ Missing persons reports where we can evidence that we are instructed by the actual person named in the report.
✔ Personal information republished e.g. historic CCJ's or bankruptcy, non-government electoral roll websites and company director information sites.
✔ Public Figures whose name are being used to generate traffic to non-consented or unrelated content, e.g. clothing models whose names are used to link to adult content, or business people whose name is used to link to and endorse dubious, unrelated, forex trading platforms.
✔ Unwanted or alarming content which appears in search results because Google's algorithms think it is relevant, but which is not about the person beings searched and doesn't name them e.g. similar crime reports, articles about relatives, offensive blogs about people with similar names etc.
✔ Damaging or Embarrassing publicity, of other various kinds e.g. relationship breakdowns, inheritance disputes or news stories that cause shame, bullying or harassment and regret (even if they were initially consented to).
✔ People with criminal convictions who received sentences of less than 4 years where the convicted person has successfully completed their licence.
