Google secretly tracks your purchase history through Gmail and stores it on a secret purchase page. Here’s how to delete it.
Last week, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai wrote a New York Times op-ed that stated, «privacy cannot be a luxury good.» But behind this, Google has a secret page that records your every single purchase, even if you purchased it elsewhere, like in a store or from Flipkart.
A page named as «Purchase» has all the purchase history that you ever made. Digital receipts of every purchase, which is made at different platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm, Myntra etc. are received at Gmail and Google secretly scans Gmail and records every purchase data. It is a little freaky, and it’s reasonable to be sceptical about why Google is keeping this information.
In an emailed statement, Google said to CNBC: «To help you easily view and keep track of your purchases, bookings and subscriptions in one place, we’ve created a private destination that can only be seen by you.
