"is" is the correct form because there must be subject-verb agreement and in this case the word "information" is the main subject and it's an uncountable noun with no plural form in English. This is one of the most confusing issues in the English language but there are specific rules that dictate which case to use with regards to "is" vs "are". The tricky part of this sentence is the word "details" and one could assume that the verb is closest to the noun "detail" but we must be careful and see that the whole sentence can be counted as one collective unit and this is why most software will give "is" as the correct form.
Am I the only one who see Present Perfect / or probably Past Simple (up to actuality of the issue) here? The person seems to have deleted his/her account and then required some additional info about it, and here is the reply. Sure that might be just some instructions as well, but I guess that's a realistic situation. So, the predicate here is: information... has been removed / was removed.
The correct statement is, "2. This will help ensure that any previously saved information associated with your card or personal details [is] removed from your browser's cache." In this context, "is" should be used because it refers to the singular noun phrase "any previously saved information," making the verb agree with the singular subject.

Sentence #1 is correct, and #2 is incorrect. Why? Because the word "information" is considered a 'mass' (or 'uncountable') noun and for this reason, it doesn't have a plural form, only singular. Thus, "information is...", not "information are...". I hope this helps!
The first one (is) correct. because information is uncountable, and it comes with singular nouns.

(is) is the correct answer because it refers to (information) which is uncountable, so it is a singular noun.
It is one card- singular so we use (is) which is singular
