The tech giant’s new tools follow data privacy updates from Microsoft and Facebook
Google has said it will offer its users an option to automatically delete their search and location history after three months.
The company already allows users to manually delete data from products such as YouTube, Maps and Search, but it will soon provide a tool that automatically deletes it after a minimum of three months.
Users will be able to increase the time range to 18 months and any data older than that will be automatically deleted from their accounts on an ongoing basis. These controls will be for location history and web and app activity and will be available “in the coming weeks” according to Google.
