Personal Info on Google Cache (gaaah) Please help!
allright. so i signed up a form once on a website months ago. recently i found out that they used my full name as a username for a 'profile' on their site with all my information (height, WEIGHT, LOCATION, ethnicity, full name!!)
i came to know about this profile when i searched my name on google.
i called the website service and asked them to cancel my profile, and they did that.
but on google, its still the first thing that comes up and you can easily see everything in CACHED. =(
there is a form on google in which u can ask them to not include a site on their search engine, but the site either has to be a dead site (404 error) or your own site.
does anyone have any idea what to do? i feel SO uncomfortable with all this information out under my name, and god knows who is 'google-ing' me!!
should I call the website service again and ask if THEY can do anything in the matter? Or should I wait a century for google to update its cached? And will it?
Thanks soo much guys<33

Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design?
search engine caches are temporary, so with the info off the site, it will be off google relatively soon.
you might wana check web.archive.org to make sure its not on there as well.
in the future, just be more carefull putting your full name and info into websites

Use this:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It will be updated within 5 days.
Most other search engines cache pages, too. You might want to investigate removing the caches from them.
In any case, almost all caches are deleted after three weeks. Archive.org, as mentioned above, is kept forever, but their crawler is very slow, so I doubt they caught your page.
