March 1 is the day Google’s new unified privacy policy goes into
effect, which means your Google Web History will be shared among all of
the Google products you use.
Do you know if Google is tracking your Web activity? If you have a
Google account (for, say, Gmail) and have not specifically located and
paused the Web History setting, then the search giant is keeping track
of your searches and the sites you visited. This data has been separated
from other Google products, but on March 1 it will be shared across all
of the Google products you use when Google’s new privacy policy goes into effect.
If you’d like to prevent Google from combining this potentially
sensitive data with the information it has collected from your YouTube,
Google , and other Google accounts, you can remove your Web History and
stop it from being recorded moving forward.
