how to clean your footprint on internet

1. Go out of social networks
It must be the first action. Enter the accounts you have on Facebook, Instagram, Flickr or Twitter and be sure to set all options with the maximum privacy. They cease to be 'social' for you, but your data will be overshadowed for other community members. An intermediate method proceeds to disable the account and can retrieve it later. However, it would be appropriate to terminate the account and ask managers writing erasing your data.

Do not forget go out of all photos and negotiate with their owners content removal. The information will not magically disappear, you must have patience and insist if after a few days is still reachable.
2. Did you write something?
The contents published have a great preponderance in Google. Copyright memory. Have you published a blog? You participated in a publication?? Opinaste? With your real name on a public forum? All this is likely to come to light in the future and must be removed if the data can commit.

It is very easy to drop a blog (if you do not remember your password, email searches), but not signed for a news or column. Generally the media are reluctant to remove entries from your file, especially if they do not prove incorrect. What is solution? Identify the information that can actually harm us and reach an agreement with the various publications. This section provides legal advice can help resolve the conflict in your favor, especially if the information is wrong or outdated.
3. Find yourself on Google
The above steps are aimed at erasing their activity, but there is still the third. To know, simply enter your name in Google I quoted. First classifies content between malicious and benign harmless because, as soon as you've moved in the network, you can not kill all the links and references. Contact managers by providing a copy of your ID to prove you are the person referred to.

In many cases you will not get an answer, but the data will disappear as if by magic. This usually happens within three to eight days. Ideally, repeat this process with the other search engines to get the desired effect.

Finally some information, especially comments, it will be impossible to put them out of circulation. In these cases the 'modus operandi' of companies who dedicate themselves to 'clean' profiles is to flood the negative points with dozens of positive reviews. You know the saying, so do not miss out on the first screen of Google, does not exist.
