So I stumbled upon a setting in my Google account today that I’m almost slightly embarrassed to say I didn’t know about before. Its the “account history” tab. To find this tab follow the steps below:
1.) go to google.com
2.) find the account tab in the upper right hand corner by clicking on your icon (you must be signed in to see this).
3.) scroll down on the page until you get to “account history”
From here you can see a list of a whole bunch of creepy stuff. “Your searches” is every search you perform on google (including ones on your cell phone). Places you go is everywhere you travel. If you have Google maps installed on your phone you are being tracked in this section. “Voice searches and commands” is any voice command you input into your phone…. The list goes on but the only thing that I left checked on this page “was information from your devices” so that my google contacts would still be synced from my phone.
