Launch of New Internet Privacy Website

United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Oct 1, 2011 -- Subtractme.com is a recently launched website offering advice on how to remove private, sensitive and personal information from the search results of Google, Bing and Yahoo as well as other prominent websites such as YouTube.

Unlike many other privacy based websites, this one does not attempt to petition against government policy or persuade technology companies to change their procedures. The sole purpose of subtractme.com is to make sense of the complex removal procedures and forms created by online businesses who store data publicly. This helps you the individual, to take back control of your data and your privacy.

Anyone who has tried to contact a large online company about a privacy concern will know it is often very difficult to get a helpful answer, most web based companies will now direct enquiries to a generic help page or document rather than assisting on a 1-1 basis. This is no more true than in the case of search engines who are not liable for the content they gather from third party websites. This only gives them more reason not to assist you on a personal level.

Why Remove Content From the Internet?
There are many reasons why one would want to remove information from the results of the major search engines and other content re-publishers. Privacy is the most common but also the most complex as there are literally dozens of request forms, many buried in the small print on difficult to find web pages.

Other reasons may include copyright or trademark infringements and other legal requests. As the Internet is global and many of the key publishers act in accordance with local law, it is beneficial to first understand how and where to request a take-down.

There are many situations where a content re-publisher is protected by laws and immunities from prosecution. subtractme.com makes sense of the complexities surrounding your online privacy and includes step-by-step instructions, examples of screen-captures, video tutorials and links to official documents and policies.

In addition to the helpful articles about removing content from the web there is also a wealth of hints and tips on how to actively prevent your personal information from being compromised in the first place. There is also a section for webmasters and site owners so they can learn how to use readily available tools and methods to speed up the removal of compromised data from the web.

Subtractme.com is totally free and no sign up or subscription is required.
