Remove your home address from Google

Safety first when you were doxxed

When an address is posted together with threats, the priority is your safety, not the post.

• If you are threatened, go to your barangay and the nearest police station, or report online threats to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group or the CICC hotline 1326.
• Keep the evidence: copy the links and take dated screenshots that show the post, the account and the comments.
• Do not confront the poster or reveal where you are staying now. Ask relatives not to comment either.
• Tell the people you live with, your building guard or your employer if the post invites people to come to your house.

Where your address appears

• Facebook posts and groups: community pages, call-out posts and buy-and-sell groups: see how we remove Facebook posts about you
• Photos and videos of your house, gate, street sign or car plate
• Screenshots of delivery waybills, IDs, bills or online orders that show your full address
• Websites: directories, forums, old classified ads and copies of leaked databases
• Google Maps: Street View images of your house and pins or reviews that name you

Removal at the source

Meta’s Community Standards on privacy violations prohibit posting the full private residential address of another person, except in limited cases such as finding a missing person. We report each Facebook or Instagram post under that rule, and add the harassment or threat when the post calls on people to go to your house.

For websites, we send the owner a removal request based on your right under the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173) to ask that personal data processed without your consent be blocked or erased. If the site does not respond, we write to its hosting provider. Pages that disappear at the source also drop out of Google on their own.

Google’s personal information removal request

Google’s policy allows you to request the removal of search results that show your home address, as well as results that dox you with threats or aggregated personal information. You can file it with Google’s online form, or with the “Results about you” tool where Google offers it. Google reviews each URL and can refuse when the information has public interest, for example the address of a registered business.

We file one request per URL, point Google to the exact place the address appears, and explain the risk. Google only removes the result from its search, not the page itself: that is why we combine it with removal at the source.

Street View blurring

If a post links to Google Maps or people can recognise your house on Street View, you can ask Google to blur it. Open your house in Street View, click “Report a problem” at the bottom right, select your home and frame it in the red box. Google may ask the owner or tenant for proof of address, such as a recent utility bill with everything else hidden. Once Google applies a blur, it is permanent.

We prepare this request with you, because it must come from the person who lives there. It does not remove posts that already show your house: we handle those separately.

How we remove your address

1. Free assessment. Send us the links on Messenger or through the form. We tell you what can be removed, by which route and at what price, before you pay.
2. Source reports. We report each post or page and contact websites and their hosts.
3. Google. We file the personal information request for every remaining result and prepare the Street View blur request with you.
4. Follow-up. We check each link until a decision is made and look for reposts.

If your number or name was posted too, see how we remove your phone number from Google and remove your name from Google. Every case belongs to our service to remove personal information. Packs are listed on our content removal prices page.

Public records limits

• Government and court records, land titles and business registrations follow their own rules. We tell you honestly when a removal request has no chance.
• News reports that mention an address are protected by press freedom. We can ask an editor to remove a detail, but the publisher decides.
• Your address itself does not change. If you are in real danger, removing posts is only one part: contact the police and the people around you.
