We want to be transparent from the start about how we handle content removal requests and government orders.

The service is governed by the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. Content removal requests can be filed here. These are the categories under which we remove content from the search results when reported via content removal requests:

1. Patent, Trademark, Trade Secret, Copyright infringement
2. Personal data
3. Spam / Malware / Phishing / Hacking
4. Child pornography
5. Expressions of racial, ethnic, religious or gender hatred

• 6 removal requests due to “Personal data”
• 2 removal requests due to “Spam / Malware / Phishing / Hacking”
