Your past shouldn't define your future

The problem

A single search for your name can cost you a job, a loan or a relationship

The problem isn't what you did: it's that the internet doesn't forget. These are the cases we see most:

News stories that never go away

An arrest without conviction, a dismissed case, an old scandal. The article is still there, years later, at the top of the results.

Official gazettes

Sanctions, fines or seizures you resolved years ago are still indexed in official gazettes, ruining your credit.

Credit default lists

You appear on credit default files for paid-off debts or other people's mistakes, and no lender will approve you.

Intimate content & identity theft

Photos or videos shared without your consent, fake profiles in your name, or your data on contact-aggregator sites.

The solution

There is a legal framework on your side. We turn it into results.

The GDPR, the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU and data protection authorities recognise your right to stop outdated information from appearing. We help you exercise it with a clear, realistic method.

We apply multi-jurisdictional legal and policy frameworks: GDPR & UK GDPR (Europe), state privacy laws & data broker opt-outs (US), LGPD & habeas data (Latin America), alongside Big Tech global safety policies.

European Union / EEA

GDPR Art. 17 & 21 · CJEU case law (C-131/12)

Formal request to the publisher's DPO, Google/Bing EU delisting form, and complaint to the national authority (AEPD, CNPD, CNIL, ICO…).

United Kingdom

UK GDPR + Data Protection Act 2018

UK search engine forms and escalation to the ICO.

United States

State privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA) · DMCA · platform policies

Data broker opt-outs, removal of sensitive data (SSN, doxxing, non-consensual intimate content), and cease & desist letters for defamation.

Latin America

LGPD (Brazil) · habeas data & local data protection laws

Complaints to the ANPD (Brazil), credit-file suppression, and proceedings before local authorities (e.g. INAI in Mexico).

Important nuance: in Europe, delisting applies to the EU/EEA versions of search engines and to searches made from Europe — not to every extension worldwide (CJEU C-131/12 and Google vs CNIL C-507/17). We explain the exact scope of your case in writing, before you pay anything.

How it works

A clear process, no fine print

From diagnosis to final result, you'll always know what we're doing and why.

1

Free diagnosis

Tell us your case: what appears, where and since when. We tell you what's possible and what isn't, free and with no commitment.

2

Digital footprint audit

We locate and document everything indexed about you: search engines, press, gazettes, credit files and data brokers.

3

Action plan

We design the strategy: delisting requests, contact with editors, complaints to the relevant data protection authority.

4

Execution & follow-up

We file every request with proper legal grounds and follow it to resolution. And we watch to make sure it doesn't reappear.

Real cases

Cases like yours

Every case is different, but they all share one thing: outdated information weighing more than the person.

Arrest without conviction

It made the news 6 years ago. The case was dropped. The headline is still on Google and the client keeps losing job opportunities.

Resolved administrative sanction

The fine was paid years ago, but the official gazette notice still ranks first and no bank approves a mortgage.

Paid-off debt on a credit file

The client paid the debt but stayed on the defaulters list. After removal, they got access to credit again.

Viral intimate content

Private photos were shared without consent and replicated across sites and networks. Urgent removal was the priority.

Fake profile in your name

Someone impersonated a professional using real photos and real details. We got the profiles removed.

Data on data-broker sites

Phone, address and ID number on contact-aggregator sites that nobody seems to manage. We exercised the right to erasure against each one.

The cases described are general examples based on real situations. They do not constitute a guarantee of outcome or any promise of success in a specific case.

Why trust us

This industry is full of 'total erasure' promises. We work with transparency.

We don't promise the impossible: we tell you what can be achieved, through which route and in what timeframe.

We tell you what's possible

We analyse every case and honestly tell you what can be achieved and what can't. If there's no route, we tell you before you pay anything.

Proper legal grounds

Every request is grounded in the GDPR and the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU.

Official procedures

We work through the real channels: Google and Bing forms, notices to editors and complaints to data protection authorities.

Coordination with lawyers

If your case requires going to court, we coordinate with licensed lawyers. We handle the process; they litigate when needed.

Full confidentiality

Your data is protected by the GDPR. We treat your case with the same privacy we defend for you.

Encrypted by default

All case data travels and is stored encrypted (TLS + at-rest encryption). Only the people handling your case can access it.

Automatic deletion

When your engagement ends, your documentation is purged automatically or anonymised, within the legal retention period.

Frequently asked questions

We answer your questions

Is it legal to ask for my information to disappear from Google?
Yes. The right to be forgotten was recognised by the Court of Justice of the EU in 2014 (Google Spain, C-131/12) and is enshrined in the GDPR (Articles 17 and 21). It's not a privilege: it's a right you exercise when data is inadequate, excessive or no longer relevant.
How long does delisting take?
Google usually responds within weeks. When the request is granted, the content stops appearing in searches for your name. Delisting isn't always immediate: it depends on the type of content and the search engine.
Do you guarantee that every link will be removed?
No service can legally guarantee a third party's decision. We guarantee an expert legal assessment, rigorous filing through official channels and escalation to data protection authorities where viable. If a case has no viable route, we tell you during the free diagnosis — before you pay anything.
Can't I do it myself for free?
You can: Google's and Bing's forms are public, and you can complain to data protection authorities free of charge. Our guided template kit lets you do it yourself with confidence. If you don't have the time or the case is complex, full management does everything for you.
Does delisting erase the article from the internet?
No. Delisting prevents the URL from appearing when someone searches your name on Google or Bing. Removing the content from the host website requires a direct request to the publisher, which depends on each country's press-freedom rules.
Is this legal advice?
We are specialists in data protection and digital reputation management: we handle administrative procedures with search engines and authorities. If your case requires court proceedings, we coordinate with licensed lawyers.
Which countries do you serve?
We serve clients worldwide and adapt the route to each jurisdiction: in the EU/EEA we use the GDPR (Art. 17 and 21) and the search engines' EU forms; in the UK, the UK GDPR and the ICO; in the US, state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA), data broker opt-outs and platform policies; in Latin America, the LGPD (Brazil), habeas data and local authorities. Whatever the country, you get one clear plan and one point of contact.
How does the service work outside the European Union?
Outside the EU/UK we rely on local privacy acts (such as CCPA or LGPD), data broker removal requests and global platform removal policies for sensitive personal data, impersonation and non-consensual content. The free diagnosis tells you honestly which of these routes apply to your case.
Will I need to sign anything?
Yes. Search engines and platforms reject requests filed by third parties without a signed authorisation. We provide a standard power-of-representation document that identifies you and us, so every request we file on your behalf is accepted.
