Close the websites you own. If you’re not sure you haven’t forgotten anything, this website might have a record of the websites you own: https://www.whois.com/ 5. Scrub yourself from forums. Usually, deleting your account is enough to remove your posts as well. Otherwise, use the search function to find your posts and edit them, leaving only a dot in the place of your original message. 6. Use search engines and remove unwanted results. Search your name, number, email, and see what comes up. Google has a form you can fill out to remove your personal data from the search results: https://support.google.com/websearch/contact/content_removal_form?visit_id=638369263187413185-3525764031&rd=1 7. Delete your email address. This should be your very last step. That’s because you’ll need your email to complete the previous steps first. Once you’re done, simply wait for the account terminations to kick in. 👇 How to limit data about you online: ➡️ Set your social media accounts to private. ➡️ Think about what you share. ➡️ Use privacy-focused browsers. ➡️ Use NordVPN. *** 📌OUR SOCIAL MEDIA 📱 🔵FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/NordVPN/ 🔵INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nordvpn/ 🔵TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordvpn 🔵TWITTER: https://twitter.com/NordVPN #eraseyourselffromtheinternet #databrokers #digitalfootprint
