Did You Know You Can Erase the Info Google Has on You in Seconds?

Whether we truly want to admit it or not, with every keystroke, internet search, and clicked link, Google is collecting information about us, which can include personal stuff.  It's not a nefarious thing it's a computer thing monitoring our activity to make life easier for us.

We've all experienced Google making services more useful for us and assisting us in discovering or rediscovering the things we've searched for, read about, and watched on YouTube or other video sites.

Google and other search engines, as well as apps and services, save your information in a Google activity account. I searched for moving companies the other day, and now movers are popping up all over the place. Eventually, the moving companies will stop popping up in place of more recent searches.

However, it's the personal stuff that may feel a bit uncomfortable to be floating out and about.
