What is MyActivity.Google.Com?

My Activity is a Google process that allows you to review and manage your activity across various Google services. This includes things like searches you’ve made, websites you’ve visited, and videos you’ve watched,

You can use it to:

• View your activity: See a detailed history of your interactions with Google services.
• Delete activity: Remove specific items or entire categories of activity.
• Control activity settings: Adjust what types of activity Google saves and how long it keeps them.
• Also – If you’ve forgotten where you saw a particular thing on the internet, you can go back through your search history to get back to it.

This can be a useful tool for maintaining privacy and managing your digital footprint. Keep in mind that Google is storing private information about your personal website habits and that might not be something you want to have happen.

If that’s the case, here are some steps to mitigate the information Google collects.
