Google activity: Access & Manage Google Activity Using Google Activity Controls
Here's how to Access & Manage Google Activity Using Google Activity Controls (my google activity, google my activity).
i. Google Activity settings allow you to manage what data Google saves about your activity across its various services. This includes things like your search history, websites you've visited, videos you've watched on YouTube, and location data (if enabled). Here's how to access and control your Google Activity settings:
**1. Accessing Activity Controls:**
* Go to your Google Account: [https://www.google.com/account/about/].
* In the left navigation panel, click on "Data & privacy."
* Under "History settings," you'll see options to manage various activity data.
**2. Managing Activity Settings:**
There are several options you can control:
* **Web & App Activity:** This setting controls whether Google saves your browsing history, app activity, and searches across Google services. You can turn it on or off entirely, or manage specific sites and apps.
* **Location History:** This controls whether Google saves your location data. You can turn it on or off and choose to delete past location history.
* **YouTube History:** This manages your watch history on YouTube. You can pause watch history, clear past history, or manage videos you've liked or disliked.
* **Voice & Audio Activity:** This controls Google Assistant recordings and voice searches. You can manage recordings, enable/disable saving activity, and choose to automatically delete recordings after a set period.
**3. Additional Resource:**
* Google provides a central page for your activity management: [https://myactivity.google.com/]
By adjusting these settings, you can control the data Google saves about your activity and personalize your privacy preferences.
