If you wish to maintain the privacy of your photos or have had your image shared inappropriately, you can contact Google and request deletion.
The content removal policy is available in some cases, such as copyright, explicit content, exposure of children under 18, and other situations that will be reviewed by Google.
The rules are used around the world, and there are still processes to restrict or eliminate access to content based on local law, according to Google.
However, not all images can be removed, the platform removes them in specific cases, such as:
Exposure of minors;
Image of documents and personal data;
Image on a website with abusive content removal practices;
Content shared without consent;
Incorrect association with explicit content;
Deepfake.
The search platform has a channel to receive deletion requests that will be evaluated according to the content and context of the image.

The first step is to contact the company's support, through aform or chat.
You will need to provide some links, such as the online address (URL) where the image is published and the Google results page. It's also important to share your search terms and screenshots of the content.
In addition, you will need to justify the reasons why Google should comply with your request. Remember to share the evidence that proves the justification.
This procedure for removing photos from the web is only aimed at content that appears on Google, the company does not operate on third-party websites.
If the image is being shared on social media, you can send the request on the platform itself, as is the case with Facebook and Instagram, for example.
