News Web Services / / December 19, 2019
It turns out, the Google collects information about your purchases - both online and in retail stores. And to remove the statistics from your account, you need to try very hard.
Shopping information - not all, but many - is displayed on the special page. Google collects it from the checks that come to you in the mail Gmail.
The company says it does not use this information to show users personalized advertising. Moreover, according to Google, these data can be in any time to remove. But here lies a couple of dirty tricks.
When you click "Remove from shopping list", the service asks to completely remove the corresponding letter. But it may need you to warranty claims.
Google writesThat information about purchases only you can view. And it adds that the order details can be saved in the history of your activity on Google. To check or delete the data, the company offers go to page "My actions". But the problem is that there is no way to manipulate the data in the section "Shopping."
The company said that the tracking can be turned off completely on the search settings page. But even that does not work.
Google said it will soon understand the settings will be much easier. But while we can only guess at why companies need all this data and why she buried them so deeply.
