How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

為響應「更安全網路日」(Safer Internet Day),Google 宣布升級旗下 Google 搜尋的「Results about you(關於你的搜尋結果)」隱私工具,新增多項功能,讓使用者能從搜尋結果中移除更多敏感個人資料,包括政府核發證件號碼與未經同意散布的私密影像,進一步強化數位安全防護。
Google 表示,「Results about you」自推出以來,已有超過1,000萬人使用該工具申請移除包含個資的搜尋結果。此次更新在既有基礎上擴充兩大重點功能。
首先,針對個資外洩風險,使用者現在可在系統中新增政府證件號碼,例如駕照、護照或社會安全號碼,由 Google 主動監測相關資訊是否出現在搜尋結果中。一旦系統偵測到可能外流情況,將發送通知給使用者,由當事人決定是否提出移除申請。Google 強調,該公司無法刪除原網站內容,但可阻止含有敏感資訊的網頁出現在搜尋結果頁面,降低被濫用風險。
其次,Google 也簡化移除未經同意私密影像的流程。當使用者在 Google 圖片搜尋中發現相關影像時,可透過圖片選單直接申請移除,並可一次選取多張圖片送出申請,不必逐一檢舉。所有申請進度皆可在「Results about you」專區查詢,系統亦會透過電子郵件提供狀態更新。
