How these results are measured
Each result is an automated, factual, point-in-time measurement of a public website, taken on the scan date shown. This is a correction process, not a removal process: if you believe a result is wrong, open the site report and re-scan it, or report an error and we will review it. Privacy of personal data in Europe is overseen by the European Data Protection Board.
