Every person
is using to search anything by use of Google but if you have also Google
account then it stores your Google search history always. What you search for? Google
will be tying together all the activity I do across any and all Google
properties, and mining all of my old search history, both on Google the searchengine and YouTube. Yikes! How can I opt out? But at last I have
searched it today after long search.
You're right that Google is aggregating
its complex web of privacy policies and simultaneously creating a single data
store of all your search and usage history, though it doesn't seem to extend to
your Google Map searches, Google Doc document content, etc. Google describes
that we're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and
replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read.
Lot of people want to be change so nothing to be worry about it.
If you're worried, there are a couple of things you can do, the easiest of
which is to simply log out of your Google account prior to doing a search or
similar. How to do that? Go to the Google home page and look on the top right
for your name and simply going to by simply go to Google.com/history. If you see something like this:
If you never turned on Web search history, you might instead see
a note that Google has no data in its archive about your searches. In that
case, you're good.
If you do have this history, your options are to remove the
current history or all Web history. In addition note at the top you can
"pause" the Web History tracking capability, which should effectively
opt you out of the new service too.
But we're not done. Look on the left side and you'll see that
there are subsets of your Web search history based on the individual services:
Want to wipe some history and disable future tracking? So web can click Remove button for delete Web History and it'll do everything you want:
