I can't directly share links here, but I can point you to helpful resources for securing your privacy and information on Google:
Google's Privacy Resources:
- Unordered List ItemGoogle's Privacy Checkup: This interactive tool helps you review and adjust your privacy settings for various Google services like Search, YouTube, and Ads. https://myaccount.google.com/intro/privacycheckup
- Data & Privacy section in your Google Account: This central hub provides information on what data Google collects and offers controls to manage your activity data, auto-delete settings, and ad personalization. https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy
- Data Privacy Settings & Controls on Google Safety Center: This webpage offers an overview of various privacy tools Google provides, including Activity Controls, My Activity view, and Incognito Mode. https://safety.google/privacy/privacy-controls/
General Online Privacy Resources:
- You can search for “https://www.eff.org/” which is a nonprofit organization advocating for digital privacy rights. Their website offers guides and resources on various privacy topics.
- “https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy” provides a neutral overview of privacy policies and how they're used by online services.
Optimizing Privacy Settings:
While there's no one-size-fits-all approach, here are some general recommendations for a balance between privacy and functionality:
- Manage Activity Controls: Choose what data Google saves from your activities like searches or location history.
- Enable Auto-Delete: Set time limits for how long Google keeps your activity data.
- Review Ad Settings: Opt out of interest-based advertising or personalize ad categories to see ads more relevant to you.
- Use Incognito Mode: This prevents Google from saving your browsing history while in incognito mode.
Remember, privacy settings are personal choices. Explore the resources above to find the right balance for you.
