The view that I show below is the general (here is in English, although account is set to “Spanish” as a primary language). Includes default activity day on YouTube categories, search, ads, news and support section, item by item.
But you can filter by date and specific product by clicking where indicated the arrow.
we also aim where you have the option to clean your history.
before you can make effective the measure will appear a message from Google that says: “Your activity can make Google you more useful, with better transportation options through maps and better search results”
you decide if the argument convinces you. .
in the upper left corner in the figure of the “hamburger” (the three horizontal stripes menu icon) opens another world of data.
Use the option ng “other activity in Google” to access what the company saves on your transfers, your phone and more.
for reasons entirely unknown to me, my location history is off . But as you may notice in the screenshot below, if you were on would have a record by date of my movements, marked on a map.
All I have done by way of Google Maps, however yes you are registered. To see all the data in this category again “my activity” and filters the result by “maps” and “maps timeline”.
Google me gives the option to tell the direction of my house and my work . Thanks, Google, I think you know enough of me anyway.
Another category is revealing ad . To get there, go back to step one, “my account”.
Press “ad settings”. Once there, go to “manage the tool Ads Preferences” and discover what Google thinks you are interested in (based on what you want more often).
Some categories are, at least, curious (billiards ?, poultry ?, Bollywood and South Asian cinema?). But I am a woman and my old Google has it very clear.
Yes, just below that, you click on “more information on how Google ads work,” you will find a release that indicates that Google “does not sell your information on anyone.”
“Much of our business is based on showing ads, both Google services and sites and mobile applications that are our partners. the ads help us to keep free for all service, “he says.
But really want to know how Google know about you?
Yes, there are more .
in fact, you can ask Google to you d é a copy . of all the information stored about you
Go to “my account” (remember: upper right corner, the circle with your initial). Just below “ad settings” is “control your content.” Choose that option. You will find a screen like this:
“Create file” will take you to a window with the option to decide which services you want to find out. In my case, asked all.
Although Google warns that collect data can take even d ies , in a couple of hours had received my -three files in total in my email Gmail.
lower them took another couple of hours. And some of them open was a bit tricky: some come in formats that are not common for simple accustomed to editing text and photos, as .json or .mbox deadly
My 5GB are relatively. little bit. And as you can see, for lack of use, in several categories no data. For example, in addition to “location”, happen to have “pause” functions “device information” and “voice and audio activity”.
But my -a post which I arrived after finding a program to open .mbox- you have them all. Read, including Spam and Deletions ( “Trash”). You can get an idea for the next screenshot.
N or you can access a list of “most used words” in my post, but Google recognizes that there is a “fully automated” process monitoring messages .
“for example, if you’ve recently received lots of messages about photography or cameras, you may be interested in an offer from a local camera store. on the other hand, if you’ve reported these messages as junk mail, you’re probably not interested in the offer. This type of automated processing is the method that many mail providers use to offer things like filters junk mail and error corrector “he says in one of its help pages.
and, perhaps even more amazing, also it has pictures . Each and every one that I’ve taken with my phone, for more than two years. Erased or not. Shared or not.
How is this possible?The short answer is because everything has a price.
Do not pay your email or your service videos on hard cash, but data .
As Lee Munson, security researcher Comparitech says “information is the new currency exchange “.
” it’s a gold mine. for Google has represented billions of dollars, “it backs Jonathan Sander, vice president of Product Strategy of Lieberman Software.
And that is Google, which is consistent with its stated interest to be transparent, allowing you to see albeit by a method a little engorroso- what you know.
But what about Facebook or other pages, large or small, they ask you a mail, an address, a credit card?
“ If you want to know who is tracking use this rule: if the service is free, your data is the product “, says Sander BBC
.” Everyone does, from services security (government, supposedly) to the humble blog that only you and a couple of other people read, “said Munson.
is this legal? Since you say that you “agree” with these Terms and Conditions do not read, just you’re delivering.
This does not mean that no one can dispute.
” the legality and interpretation of the law depends on local regulations and guidelines, “he tells BBC Mark James, an expert in security firm ESET.
” Google and Europe have clashed frequently on issues as privacy, monopoly right to be forgotten, data collection, etc. in some cases the company has been fined, but mostly it has been determined that operates within the legal framework “.
What do
we are at their mercy then?
The experts we consulted agree that there is very little that can be done.
“you have to make a conscious and concerted effort to avoid being followed. for example, not using Google or doing different activities in different, or different accounts machines, “says James.
” consider turning off the location, to use mail accounts that do not actually use to go shopping sites, using dates slightly wrong birth wherever legally possible and never, never, never, will you tell Facebook, Twitter or other social network what you ate breakfast , let alone your personal details and the main events of your life, “advises Munson.
