Just tried this - and am astonished as to how much information there is about me on there - even photos and my birth date.
Okay, I am someone who joins organisations and have sat, and still do sit on several committees......but even so.......!!!

Nothing on me, which I am happy about, but based on my surname lots of stuff comes up about my DDs.

You can click the three dots by the side of a result and ask Google to remove it if you wish.

I have a very common first and last name, both are near the top of lists of popular first names and common last names.

If I google my name, I am swamped with loads of people with the same name all of whom have done something more interesting or noteworthy than I have done.

Nothing on me, whew! But quite a few creative women who share my name, so I’ll live in their shadow.

I used to be on it when I was working as I had organised many educational sessions. Now, although there are many women on Google who share my name, im no longer there. Hurrah

Absolutely not! I don't want to to go down that (potential) rabbit hole.
