About this tool
Build a dated, ordered plan to get your name, contact details or photos off review and rating platforms, with the right escalation route.
This guide turns a review-site removal request into an ordered plan with real dates, based on what you are removing and where you live. It distinguishes the four routes that actually exist — deleting your own contribution, a platform policy breach, a statutory erasure right, and content that is contested and normally needs a court order — because using the wrong one is why most removal attempts stall. Deadlines come from the rules themselves: one calendar month to respond under Article 12(3) of the GDPR, 15 days for an intermediary grievance under India's IT Rules 2021 with a 24-hour route for morphed or intimate images, and no statutory takedown right in the United States, where section 230 leaves removal to platform policy or a court.

Every step gets a date to chase on, so nothing sits in a support queue for months by default.
Search engines have their own personal-information removal route that works even while the page stays up.
Usually only if it breaks a published policy — personal contact details, impersonation, harassment, or an undisclosed conflict of interest — or if a court orders it. An honest opinion is protected in most jurisdictions, and Article 17(3)(a) of the GDPR expressly disapplies the erasure right where processing is necessary for freedom of expression.
Report it under the platform's personal-information or doxxing policy, citing that policy by name, and separately ask the search engine to remove the result under its own personal-information removal policy. Contact details are one of the few things almost every platform agrees should not appear in user content, so this route is far stronger than arguing the review is unfair.
In India, an intermediary's grievance officer must acknowledge a complaint within 24 hours and dispose of it within 15 days, with a 24-hour requirement for content exposing a private area or involving impersonation and morphed images. In the EEA and UK, a data protection request must be answered within one calendar month. In the United States there is no statutory deadline for third-party content.
Yes — reviews you posted are yours to remove from your contributions on every major platform, and photos attached to a review are usually stored as separate items that must be deleted individually. After deleting, use the search engine's outdated-content tool so the cached copy carrying your name disappears too.
