Why Is My Deleted Account Still Visible on Google?
Quick Answer
When you delete your JobzMall account, while we remove your data immediately from our systems, it may temporarily remain visible in Google search results. This is because Google's search index updates independently from our website.
Understanding Your Privacy on JobzMall
Default Privacy Settings
All user profiles are private by default when you sign up
Only you can see your data
Employers can only view information you explicitly share with them
Public vs. Private Profiles
Your information only appears in Google searches if you previously set your profile to public
Public profiles are useful for sharing portfolios and increasing visibility to opportunities
You can control your profile's visibility through your account settings
How Google Search Works
The Indexing Process
Crawling: Google's automated bots regularly scan ("crawl") websites to discover new or updated content
Indexing: Found content is processed and stored in Google's search index
Updating: When content is removed from a website, Google needs time to recognize these changes
Re-crawling: Google periodically revisits websites to detect changes
Timeline for Removal
It typically takes around 72 hours for Google to process and remove deleted content
This timeline can vary depending on:
When Google next crawls our website
The size of Google's current indexing queue
How frequently the page was previously accessed
What You Can Do
Immediate Steps
Verify your account is properly deleted on JobzMall
Wait approximately 72 hours for Google to update its index
Clear your browser cache to ensure you're seeing the most recent version of search results
If Content Persists
If your information is still visible after 72 hours:
Try viewing the Google search result - you should see a "Page not found" message
Use Google's outdated content removal tool if needed
