Over time, accessing the internet has become a daily routine for almost everyone. Anonymity has allowed people of all ages to access this massive network. Something that has caused certain problems, especially to minors.
Although
they can make responsible use of social networks and other digital services,
their level of maturity is sometimes insufficient. Now, what do you do when the problem is done? Next,
we will tell you all about how to remove any traces that your child has left on
Google.
Request Google to remove any data from
a person under 18 years of age
Google
updates its privacy policy remotely. Among its clauses, it has added one that allows requesting the removal of images of minors from the
network. It is only necessary to indicate what type of files you
want to delete and justify why. Likewise, this action can be carried out
from the authors of the photo themselves to their parents or legal guardians.
The
purpose is, above all, to protect anyone under the age of 18 from an attack on
their privacy. In the same way, the thing does not stop there. If there is other personal information on the network,
Google can also make it disappear. Being such a
massive company, it has a division in charge of solving these issues. By
accessing their support website, you can fill out a form to request that any
personal information that exists on the network be removed. Something that
can also be applied to adults.
Check your child's fingerprint
manually
The fingerprint is all personal information that a person
generates on the internet. It can be consulted by typing
the full name in the search engine. They can appear from profile photos of
social networks, to publications or other digital elements. If you report these results to Google, they can make them
disappear as soon as you let them know.
On
the extra hand, you can also accomplish this task manually. Due to the
privacy policy, promoted by the Data Protection Law, every website must obey
the author of a content. This means that, if you
request to remove any of your or your child's content from the internet, the
web platform must abide by it. There are no buts
or special assumptions. The best interests of the minor will always be
above everything.
Delete social media accounts the easy
way
In
addition to the generic websites that you can find on Google, one of the
services most used by minors is social networks. Instagram, Facebook or Twitter are very popular networks
that, to a large extent, are used by minors.
If
you access your child's social network, you can go to account settings and
request the permanent deletion of it. In most cases, this process is quick
and uncomplicated. If for any reason this
action is complicated, you can always contact the company's support and ask
them directly. You will only need to specify the
username or email used to create the account.
Similarly,
we remind you that Google can carry out this task. Tell them what your child's social networks are and they will take
care of removing them. It may be assumed that your
child was lying about the age when creating the account. Therefore, it is advisable to provide some proof of your minority.
