Before a client signs, an investor wires the funds, a partner introduces you, a date opens an app — they Google you first. A single defamatory article, leaked document, fake review or outdated court record can close doors you never even knew were open. Link Removal From Search exists to delete those URLs permanently from Google and every connected surface.
We remove URLs two ways: completely deleting the page at the source (publisher, host, platform takedown), then delisting it from Google Search, Images, AI Overviews and every connected surface. Both layers, one flat fee.
Libel, slander, false accusations, fabricated news articles and malicious blog posts removed under defamation and tort law worldwide.
Stolen images, leaked documents, pirated videos, plagiarised articles and any unauthorised reproduction of your owned work.
Home addresses, phone numbers, ID documents, banking details, medical records and other PII under Google’s “Results about you” policy.
Leaked addresses, family information, daily routine maps and any data weaponised to threaten you or your household.
One-star bombing campaigns, competitor sabotage, false complaints and unverifiable negative ratings on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp and beyond.
Old news articles, expunged or sealed court records, dismissed charges and outdated press that no longer reflect reality.
Fake websites impersonating your brand, scam pages, fraudulent profiles and cloned accounts directing traffic to fraud.
Right-to-be-forgotten delisting requests under GDPR Article 17, UK DPA, LGPD, CCPA, Indian DPDP Act and equivalent frameworks.
A clear, four-step process. You stay informed at every stage. We do the technical work, the legal correspondence and the platform escalation.
Share the Google search result hurting you. We accept screenshots, search-result links and direct URLs. WhatsApp or the form above — both arrive in the same inbox.
Within 24 hours we identify the strongest removal route — DMCA, defamation, GDPR, platform policy — and send a clear, flat-fee quote with timeline.
We submit every required notice to host, platform and Google directly. If the host refuses, we escalate to upstream networks, registrars, payment processors and counsel.
You receive a complete removal report showing the source URL gone (404 / dead-host proof) and the Google SERP cleared. We monitor for 12 months and re-file instantly if the URL or any near-duplicate resurfaces anywhere online.
The right route depends on the URL’s content, your jurisdiction, and the platform hosting it. We assess every case for the strongest available angle.
Google’s legal-removal channels are jurisdiction-aware — we file under the strongest applicable framework for each client’s country.
Link Removal From Search does not simply hide a result. We remove the original post, video, article or page from the platform where it lives. Once the source is gone, it disappears from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo — and from AI answers in ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and Google AI Overviews, because there is no longer a source for them to cite.
Where deletion is not possible, we pursue de-indexing, content updates or corrections at the source — updated sources are re-crawled quickly, which is what keeps AI search results clean and current.
We file right-to-be-forgotten and de-indexing requests for clients in Japan to remove outdated and harmful results for their name. Every route is grounded in Japan’s APPI and Provider Liability Limitation Act, and we remove content at its source so it also disappears from AI answers such as ChatGPT and Gemini.
Pick the problem you face or the country you need help in. Every page covers complete URL removal at the source plus Google delisting.
Send us the harmful URL. We’ll come back with a clear plan, the legal route, and a flat-fee quote — usually within 24 hours.
Jurisdiction-specific data protection, defamation law, and removal process information for Japan. Last reviewed 2025.
Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) is the supervisory authority for data protection in Japan. Individuals can file erasure and data-related complaints directly with this authority.
Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), significantly amended in 2020 (effective April 2022); Provider Liability Limitation Act (PLLA), amended 2022
Japan's amended APPI introduced new individual rights, including the right to request cessation of use or deletion of personal data in certain circumstances. The PPC enforces the law and can order businesses to rectify compliance failures. Japan's APPI is broadly aligned with GDPR but has important distinctions around consent and data use.
Japan's Defamation Law is set out in the Civil and Penal Codes (Articles 230-232 Penal Code). Criminal defamation exists alongside civil remedies. Defamation of the deceased (up to five years) is also criminalised. The amended PLLA (2022) created a streamlined procedure for identifying anonymous defamers online.
The amended PLLA (2022) created a single-stage court procedure for identifying anonymous online defamers â replacing a previously slow two-stage process. Courts can issue provisional dispositions (kari sashitome) â interim removal orders â within days in urgent cases. The PPC investigates APPI complaints.
Common Japanese sources requiring removal include Nikkei, Mainichi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, Asahi Shimbun, NHK News Web, Yahoo! Japan News, note.com, and 5ch (major anonymous forum).
Japan's amended PLLA dramatically simplified identifying anonymous online defamers â now a single court procedure rather than two separate steps. This makes Japan one of the more effective jurisdictions for pursuing anonymous online attackers, once a case reaches the courts.
