Find out what Google knows about you
Google search engine has been the most sought-after tool in the world, in fact for many; the Internet іs synonуmous with Google. That being said, lately, therе hаve been concerns about the privacy and the way personal data is used by Google, and how Google traсks itѕ users.

What Google knows about you
You will get all or most of this information in your Google Dashboard.
1. Google Search History
No, this is not the search history that resides on your PC – instead, this is the one archived on the Google servers. It records each and every search you have made and also the Google Ad you have clicked.

2. Google Data usage by Third-Party Apps
The Account Activity page lets you in, on the third-party apps, and also other usual apps that are making use of your Google Data. Additionally, you can also see the degree of permissions granted to the apps, and you can also revoke/modify the same. Go here. I was personally surprised to see the number of applications, I had granted permission to access my data, and some of them looked shady, the first thing to do is revoke access to apps that you don’t use.
3. Exporting your Google Exclusive data
Google lets you export all of your data in the preferred file extension using Google Takeout. The stash of data includes bookmarks, emails, contacts, drive files, profile info, YouTube videos, and also photos. This is the link from where the data can be imported.
4. Your Location History
If you have an Android phone, then it is evident that Google keeps a record of your location history. The Location History feature also includes the location from where you log in to your Gmail account from a PC. The best part is that you can check out the locations you have visited over a year. So next time you forgot the name of the Coffee shop you had been to just check it out in the Google Location history. Visit Your Timeline and Google will show you all the places you visited.
5. Security and Privacy report from Google
Now, this is one of the most powerful features around, if you are worried that the account might be compromised at some point in time or even if you just wanted to take some precautionary measures. The report can be downloaded from this link. Furthermore, the report is also expected to improve your knowledge of how you can enhance your security.
6. YouTube Videos you search and watch
Google also keeps a history of your YouTube searches and video views. Check it out here.
7. This is what Google thinks about you
Google is smart enough to make a profile of its users, including how old it thinks you are, and this is meant to help the ad publishers target the ads in a better and more efficient way. Google pulls the data from Analytics, and it talks about everything, the period you stayed on the website and the search trends. It is surprising to see the level of detailing and the density of the information Google servers have on the users. See your profile on this page. But you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on which Google themselves have provided.
8. Voice searches are saved
Google will also store a history of your Voice searches including the recording of voice and audio activity if you opted in to use the feature.
You may want to delete your Google Voice Activity History.
Visit your Google Activity Control Dashboard to view and manage all your private activities. Here you will be able to toggle your preferences On or Off. Click on the Manage Activity link for each, to change your preferences.
To harden your settings further, use the Google Privacy Settings Wizard. Also, read this post on how to opt-out and maintain your privacy when using Google Services. It gives you additional tips which you will find useful.
