Google’s search index is separate from OpenTrain. Removing or hiding a page on OpenTrain does not remove it from Google immediately. Google has its own crawl schedule.

What we do automatically

When a profile becomes private, is removed, or the account is deleted on OpenTrain, the page is set to noindex and is no longer accessible to anonymous visitors. On Google’s next recrawl, that page drops out of the index. We also no longer include /profile/... URLs in our public sitemap, so we are not actively asking Google to index them.

How long Google takes

We cannot commit to a specific timestamp because Google controls its own recrawl schedule. In practice, recrawls of a page that has gone away or returned noindex typically complete within a few days to a few weeks.

How to ask Google to drop the page faster

If you want the page out of Google sooner than its next natural recrawl, you have two options:
  1. Request removal yourself in Google Search Console. Google offers a Remove Outdated Content tool for anyone; you do not need to own the site. Submit the exact OpenTrain profile URL, and Google removes the cached snippet and search result once it confirms the page is gone or has been updated.
  2. Email us at support@opentrain.ai with the subject Search Console removal and the exact OpenTrain profile URL. We will submit a Search Console removal request for that URL on your behalf, after confirming the underlying page is gone or has been set to noindex.

What we cannot do

  • We cannot guarantee how quickly Google removes the page from its results. That is Google’s call.
  • We cannot remove the page from search engines other than Google through Google Search Console. For Bing or other engines, we will look at the equivalent webmaster tools on request.
  • We cannot remove third-party caches or screenshots that other sites may have made of a page when it was public.
