When it comes to privacy, almost all the tech companies promise that they will protect yours at all costs. However, there will still be scandals regarding data exploitation surfacing somewhere. To remind you that they do value your privacy, Google will now offer the choice of deleting your entire browsing history automatically.
The feature was announced by the company last year, and it has now finally come into effect. From now on, users are allowed to choose whether they want their browsing data including location information and search queries to be automatically deleted every three months or 18 months. Not just browsing data, but the setting can also be applied to watched YouTube videos.
Google has stated that they always focus on three principles which are keeping users' information safe, treating it responsibly, and putting users in control when it comes to designing their products. With the new option being rolled out, it will enable users to gain more control of their privacy and allow the company's core products to keep less data by default.
