How is this different from the Web History tool? Click these dots to view the details of any particular item (details will include things like the exact time the activity was recorded and what Google product was being used) or to delete an individual item. Next to each activity bundle or item you will see three vertical dots. On the My Activity page, you'll see activity from a variety of Google products, including Search, Image Search, Maps, Play, Shopping, YouTube, and even Help - that's right, any time you visit a Google Help page, Google records that visit. You can find this page by going to (you'll need to sign into your account). The My Activity page is a hub where you can see all of the key information that Google has been collecting about you over the years. From the My Activity page you not only see what Google is tracking, you can also take steps to delete data and prevent future collection. But it's also pretty useful, because, as evidenced by the mountain of data Google has stored on you, knowledge is power.

Every website you've visited, every image you've viewed, every search term you've typed into the Google Search box. Google has introduced a new data dashboard called the My Activity page where you can see just about every single piece of data that Google has collected about you over the better part of the past two decades. Or, you know, Google Search.īut there's some good news, sort of. Especially if you frequently use Google's many products, such as Android, Gmail, Drive, Google Maps, or YouTube. What does Google know about you? Everything.
