It is possible and we are confident in being able to remove offending content about you or your business and we at Soar Online have various ways of achieving this. One of the methods we use is utilising the individual’s right to be forgotten.
Every individual has the right to request Google to remove any offending material from their search results and in many circumstances this is possible where such information is inaccurate, inadequate, irrelevant or excessive.
A Recent EU Law was passed governing these requests and Google have to take such requests seriously. They will assess the requests on an individual basis and will have to provide valid reasons for not removing such offending material.
They will consider the relevancy of the links, the age of the links and any affect that the links may be having on the individual’s life or work and need to be very careful of the criteria laid down by the court.
The whole sprit of the court ruling empowers the individuals to manage data or information that is published about them online and where such offending material is harmful, outdated or no longer newsworthy, we have a very strong argument for having the information removed from the results.
So how do we get this kind of information removed? Soar Online have a specialised ‘Reputation management’ department and our experienced advisers are adapt in dealing with such requests. We are very familiar with the law and the procedure and know exactly how to approach Google and how to best structure your request. In practice Google has to delete information when it received the formal request from or on behalf of the requesting person.
Google will assess each individual request on its own merit and on a case by case basis but do have to apply the criteria laid down by the EU Court ruling. This includes the type of material, the accuracy, relevance and the age of the content.
Our team of Reputation management experts will monitor the web 24/7 or any offending material and act quickly to have the content removed.
We also deal with internet service providers and web hosting companies to inform and remind them of their obligations and possible legal implications of breaching data protection policies that may cause individuals or businesses harm or harassment and the implications of monetary awards if such cases are proven.
