YOGYAKARTA - Google Street View is being discussed because it is considered a violation of privacy after displaying a house in their application without the permission of the home owner.

This actually happens a lot, but is not realized by the owner of the house or building whose photos are uploaded to Google Street View. However, you can blur or delete the photo you are using if it violates your privacy.

In fact, if someone else took a photo of your house and uploaded it to Google, you can ask Google to remove it from Street View, by making a report through the Google Maps app or the Street View app.

This step will make your privacy more secure, because photos of your house or building will no longer be displayed on Google Street View. However, please note that this will make the location of your home more difficult to find using Google Maps, because there is no photo description.

However, if you are sure to delete your house photo from Google Street View but don't know how to do it yet, users can follow the steps prepared by the VOI team below.
