Lumen database

Lumen is a research database that collects and publishes online content removal requests; Google sends copies of many legal requests to it.

Why it matters

If a request appears in Lumen, the removed URL and requester details may be visible, which can trigger the Streisand effect.

What to do

Write names and descriptions in copyright and legal requests with care; most personal information requests are not sent to Lumen.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Lumen entry be removed?

Lumen usually redacts personal details; in special cases you can write to Lumen.
