Google Search EU removal

What we know about this broker

Researched 2026-06-16. Google provides a dedicated EU Right to be Forgotten (RTBF) / Art.17 erasure delisting form at reportcontent.google.com/forms/rtbf?product=websearch. Confirmed live via support.google.com/legal/answer/10769224. Required fields: specific URL(s) to delist (profile_url captures this), the search query (full name) used to surface the content, and a contact email address. Authorized agents/legal representatives are accepted — the form allows submission on behalf of another person if legally authorized. Google may request additional information by email before processing. Confirmation is via email correspondence. Verification is by re-running the search query to confirm the result snippet/cache has been delisted (search_index method). Tier 1: the public search result is observable before and after. Legal hook is GDPR Art.17 (right to erasure) / Art.21 (right to object). Escalation path: complaint to competent DPA (e.g. national supervisory authority) if Google refuses. Follow-up cadence is tight (3, 7, 14, 30 days) because source-removal is required upstream and delisting should follow promptly. Classified as manual on 2026-06-17 after live worker validation confirmed Google serves a CAPTCHA gate to automated browser validation.
