Why is this linking to some oddball social network that in turn links to a broken CNET page?! Here, I'll save you the clicks and frustration with this TL;DR.

Use Google's privacy tools to be informed when your personal information is searched:

Open your web browser and type myactivity.google.com/results-about-you.
Select “Results to review.”
Choose “Get started” and press “Next,” twice.
Add your personal info: name, address, phone number, email. You can add multiple entries for each one.
Confirm this is all your information.
Choose the way that you want to be notified. You can choose email or push notifications, or both.
Last, you will get a pop-up that says, “We’re taking a look."

Edit: adding a note that it's not available in all regions.
