To see what Google knows about you, it is advisable to start at myactivity.google.com, where you will find a timeline of all your searches, YouTube views, Maps activity, and so on.

Google gives users the option to delete or limit what it tracks through the following steps:
Go to myactivity.google.com, select the options menu, and select delete activity by and choose a time range or set up auto-delete.
To pause activity tracking, visit your Google account and go to data & privacy, then choose the history settings and select the activities you want to pause.
