Norway: 1881, Google results and the tax lists

Norway in figures

Norway is not in the EU, but it applies the GDPR through the EEA Agreement, and Google’s European delisting form is open to Norwegian residents. Norwegians have sent Google 29,936 delisting requests since 2014, and 2,683 in the last 12 months, the highest rate per person among our countries after Sweden. Google delisted 57.8% of the requested URLs (Google’s own figures since 2014, Transparency Report).

Google handles about 89% of Norwegian searches and Bing about 6%.

1881: listed unless you reserve

1881 lists everyone with a phone number, with name and often address, unless the person registers a reservation (*reservasjon*). The reservation is made with your phone operator, free of charge, as 1881’s own privacy statement explains; depending on the operator it can take up to about two weeks and also covers other directories fed by the operators. You make the reservation; we tell you exactly how and handle the rest: directories and sites that copied your listing earlier, and the Google results for your name.

This matters for people who moved after a separation, for health workers and police officers, and for anyone who receives unwanted visits or calls.

Tax lists: see who searched, no removal

Every year the Norwegian Tax Administration publishes tax lists showing income, wealth and tax for each taxpayer. They are searchable only after logging in, and since 2013 you can see who searched for you (Skatteetaten). There is no removal route for the lists themselves, and we do not sell one.

If a newspaper article combines your tax figures with other private information, send us the link: the other information may be a separate question for the publisher or Google.

What we handle in Norway

Gulesider and proff.no also publish personal and company data; their opt-out routes are not verified by us yet, so we check them case by case.

Law and authorities

Since 1 January 2025 Norway’s new Lawyers Act lets anyone give legal help outside the courts, while court work stays with lawyers (Juristforbundet). We file requests and reports under your mandate; we never go to court. NetClearer is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.

The Norwegian data protection authority is Datatilsynet. When a complaint is the next step, we prepare it; you sign and send it.

Price and payment

€29 incl. VAT per link, €20 incl. VAT per review request. Stripe can show the amount in Norwegian kroner. The payment page shows the methods available to you. No refund once your request has been filed.
