Google allows automatic deletion of location history

Google knows where you are at all times, where you come from and where you are going. Thanks to location history, and browsing history, of course, Google is able to collect personal data about your hobbies and passions and pass it on to merchants to target personalized ads that, apparently, may interest you more than others and thus , end up consuming products. If you do not want Google to control you, you can follow the steps that we have indicated on these same pages.

How long do you want Google to save your activity?

The great novelty that the Internet giant is now presenting is that, automatically, the user will be able to request that navigation and location data be deleted from a specific date. That is to say, that Google is not capable of storing, for years, everything that we have been looking for or the sites that we have been visiting. The user, in this way, will be able to choose a time during which they want all the data of their activity on Google to be saved, stipulated between 3 and 18 months, and the oldest data will be deleted automatically.

If you want Google to only save your last three months of activity, it is now possible, so we are going to significantly increase our privacy without having to give up ads and personalized suggestions.

According to Google's own official blog, the company will always be concerned with providing the user with the best controls to keep their privacy safe. However, we must remember that Google knows where you are even if you deactivate location history. And it is not the only thing that we must deactivate. In the 'Settings' section, 'Google' section, 'Google Account' section, we have to go to 'Data and personalization' and deactivate the 'Activity on the web and applications switch '. This is how, definitely, Google will stop knowing all our movements.
