Personal Information On Google

Hey guys. This may not be the right place to post this but I don't know where else I could post it and get some help from you guys.

The issue here is that one day I decided to google my phone number to see what comes up. Turns out, almost all my personal information, such as address, postal code, domain registrar, domain nameservers... are listed on google.

I have emailed the Whois.Domaintools website a few days ago and they promised 48 hour response. No response. I just emailed them again a few minutes ago.

How do I remove it from Google? Do I do something there or on my domain registrar, or what?

Thanks a lot guys!

    You need to pay for privacy protection at your domain registrar.

    The listing at DomainTools is just one of hundreds of sites that are probably displaying the information. But don't expect it to be quick, it will take months for all those websites to update.

    Google only indexes what is publicly available - you need to get it removed from the site(s) that the info is on. Next time google crawls and indexes that page(s) it will be gone.

      Those Google results should disappear eventually if you change your WHOIS details. But DomainTools will provide the current WHOIS details as a historical snapshot to anyone buying one of their reports.

    whois is a matter of public record and it's going to get picked up by Google.

    As has been stated, privacy protection is the only way around it. However, it isn't very professional to hide behind whois privacy.
