Google keeps track of your location history, something your mobile device shows you. Just check your location history on the Google Maps timeline, and you'll see how comprehensive it really is.
This is what writer Lorraine Kahn said in her report - published by Readers Digest magazine in its Australian edition - about cybersecurity expert Rami Yarmia, who added that you can change your settings; In addition to deleting your location history, law enforcement can still retrieve your location history, which means even if you delete it, it's not really gone.
These are 10 confidential and private information that Google knows about you:
When you search for flights on Google, you will get a list of all your upcoming air travel plans. According to Jeremiah, this information is pulled from your emails, which makes it even more terrifying.
But Google is not the only technology company violating your privacy. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much you can do about it if you're buying tickets online and using Gmail as your point of contact.
If you use Gmail, Google will have access to the contents of your emails. There's not much you can do about it (except delete your Gmail account), but you can tell Google not to use your emails to target you with ads.
Jeremiah recommends checking your Google Ads settings, and you'll have the option to turn off "Ad Personalization". This will not stop all ads from running and will not prevent Google from collecting your information, nor will turning off Personalization of Ads prevent Google from recognizing you from any other information you allow them to access; But it will prevent them from accessing your profile.
If you haven't turned off "Ads Personalization" in your Google Ads settings; You can scroll down to see the profile Google collects about you. The first thing that appears is their guess of your age group and gender. It is an estimate from Google based on the information they have collected about you.
If you take a look at Google's "My Activity" page, you can see a historical timeline of your web activity, ie every website you've visited. Google undertakes that at least only you will have access to this information. You can also delete the history by clicking on "Delete activity with" on the right side of the page.
The list includes your favorite shopping sites, you can search your search history by filtering "Shopping" to view and delete history. If you click on "Other Google Activity" on the left-hand side; You'll be taken to a whole list of other things Google knows about you based on your online decisions. You can see Product Price Tracking and Google Shopping Order Activity as well as delete it.
In the "Other Google Activity" list, you'll be able to see and delete what Google thinks it knows about your hobbies and interests, which could include football, cooking, and pets. Of course, Google uses all of this information to suggest search results and products you might like, which can be useful but is also used to target ads.
In the middle of the "My Activity" screen, you'll see a box titled "Visited: Google - My Activity". You will find a list of every search you have done on Google. And you can delete your search history by left-clicking on the three dots in the right corner of the box. You will be given the option to "Delete" or "Details".
In "My Activity", go back to "Other Google Activity". Right at the top, you'll see a number of titles related to YouTube. This includes your YouTube comments, your answers to a YouTube survey, and even "disinterested" comments. The word "Delete" appears prominently below these headings, and you might definitely want to do that.
Have you noticed how Google Chrome always asks you if you want to save your password? It's true that the service is convenient, but that's another piece of information you might not want Google keeping about you.
The setting for audio recordings is optional, but it's definitely worth checking your account to see if it's turned on.
Go to Activity Controls, and you'll see Web & App Activity with a toggle switch that's either blue (on) or white (off). Below is a box with two options; One is where you can allow Google to save Chrome activity history and activity, and the other is “Include audio activity.”
If you click on "Learn more" next to the last box, you will be able to read why Google is saving your voice commands and what it is doing with the data. But if you don't want your voice to remain in Google's records all the time, just leave the box unchecked and your voice data will not be saved.
If you use Google tools to manage your contacts, calendar events, photos, videos, or documents, please be aware that all information you You think you're only sharing it with yourself, you're actually sharing it with Google who also knows what devices you're using.
