The development of the Internet has made people's lives more convenient and easier. The Internet contains a huge amount of data, helping us answer countless questions. However, we are very vulnerable to having our personal information exposed when logging in and searching websites.
To check what personal information of yours has appeared on the internet, your search history, your search habits, etc., you can follow these steps:
Simple tips to know if your personal information has been leaked on Google. (Illustrative image)
Use Google tools.
Google Alerts is a free tool from Google that helps you check your internet activity. Google Alerts will help you search and compile information on the internet on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
As soon as you see content containing keywords like your name, phone number, or email address, Google Alerts will immediately send you an alert via your registered email address.
Check what Google knows about you.
Here are four simple steps to find out what Google knows about you, including your interests, places you've been, and search habits.
Step 1: Go to myactivity.google.com/myactivity.
Step 2: Log in to your Google account.
Google stores the search queries you've made after logging into your Google account, so you likely won't see all of your searches. However, this search list can still give you an overview of your search habits.
Step 3: Click the "Filter by date and product" button, select "All time" under "Filter by date" and "All products" under "Filter by product" in Google.
Google lets you view your recent search history by date. You can choose to view Today, Yesterday, the last 7 days, the last 30 days, or go to Custom and enter your desired time range.
Once you have selected the appropriate time period, press the Magnifying Glass button in the upper right corner or the Apply button in the newly opened menu.
Step 4: See what Google knows about you.
Places you've been to
You can view Google's statistics about the places you've visited by selecting "Google Activity". You'll see the "Access Timeline" option to choose the time period you need. Or you can also access it directly at https://www.google.com/locationhistory.
If you haven't turned off location services on your mobile device, you can access this section to view maps of all the places you've visited.
If you don't want Google to record the locations you've visited, click the "Pause Location History" button at the bottom of the page. A new window will then open. Here, simply click the "Pause" button.
