MyRecon OSINTRemove or reduce your public information
There are three different actions: delete an account you control, suppress a broker listing, or remove a search result pointing to a source page. Each has a different owner and verification step. Use this decision guide to avoid submitting the wrong request or losing access to data you wanted to keep.
1. Decide who controls the source
Open the original page and record its exact URL, date and the fields you want removed. If it is your social account, change the profile or use the provider's deletion settings. If a broker published the record, use that broker's privacy request. If the original page is already gone or changed but a search snippet remains, consider the search engine's refresh or removal route. Removing a Google result does not delete the original information. Where the source belongs to another person or organization, contact its owner or the appropriate official reporting channel.
2. Prepare account deletion before confirming it
Sign in through the official app or website. Export content you want, transfer ownership of shared repositories, pages or workspaces, and update any other accounts using this account for sign-in or recovery. Review active subscriptions in their own billing channel; deleting a profile may not cancel an app-store subscription. Read the provider's current distinction between deactivation and deletion, its waiting period and what logging in during that period does. Do not assume the same menu path or waiting period applies across Instagram, Discord, GitHub and other services.
3. Submit a broker request using the exact record
Locate your matching record before entering an opt-out flow. Compare enough fields to select it without collecting unrelated people's information. Use the broker's official privacy or opt-out channel and a verification email you control. Share only the information the form requires. If a document is requested, check the destination and permitted redactions before providing it; MyRecon does not collect documents or submit these requests for you. Keep the request reference and stated processing period. A broker suppression usually does not erase the public records or other data sources from which the listing was assembled.
4. Use Google removal for the correct condition
Google documents removing certain personal information from search and refreshing outdated content. Choose the route that matches the current source: outdated snippets after a source change differ from a live page containing personal information. Read the eligibility criteria and provide the exact result and source URLs. Save the decision; submission alone is not evidence of removal. A delisted result can remain accessible directly or through another search engine.
5. Verify each outcome and record what remains
After the provider's stated processing period, reopen the exact original URL in a signed-out window, inspect the search result separately and record removed, changed, still visible or unable to verify. Do not claim success from an email acknowledging the request. Recheck broker pages after a refresh cycle because data can reappear. Retain the minimum request log needed for follow-up; delete redundant screenshots and identity documents from your own working folder when no longer required.
Worked example: address on a broker page
Illustrative case: a broker page displays your old home address and Google indexes that URL. First request suppression at the broker and retain its case number. If the broker page disappears but the search snippet still shows the address, request an outdated-content refresh through Google. Record those as two different outcomes. If the source remains live, use the applicable personal-information removal criteria rather than describing it as outdated. No single request removes the address from every website, archive or public record.
