removal of personal info on Bing search

Can I request for the removal of my personal information on Bing search?

If you want something removed from Bing, you need to remove it from the original source.

Search your name in Bing to find where your personal information is for sale.

Make a list (or a spreadsheet) of all the websites that sell your Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Your list will most likely have about 30 to 40 websites that are selling your personal info.

Look at the botton of each page, look for the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" icon.

Click on the icon and then follow their instrutions.

Many of these websites are either owned by, or affiliated with, large corporations known as "Data Brokers".

You don't need to opt-out of each individual website, just opt-out from the main websites and you will be removed from their affiliate websites.

Be advised that after you opt-out, your personal information could be reposted after a few weeks. It's game of "whack-a-mole".

The websites that sell our personal information often include this warning:

"You may not use our service to make decisions about consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would require FCRA compliance.

These websites create problems because employers would make hiring decisions based on the info they find about protential employees.

They also sell our automobile Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs).

What is your IP address? They sell our IP addresses too.
