Why is Zillow displaying PRIVATE homeowner information on Google? And how do someone remove it?!

Profile picture for Lily320
Right now if you google a homeowner or their info like a phone number, it comes up on Google results under Zillow and the page on their home, yet on the Zillow website the private information of the homeowner is kept private. 

Why are you leaking private info on to Google? If a homeowner's info is private on Zillow, someone should not be able to google it to get around your privacy protections which are obviously failing.

That would be disconcerting.   I'm not seeing myself or any of my home owning friends (in several Western states) linked to Zillow when I google them.  Is this for a specific state?  Is it related to a home that was FSBO?
