You know (or should know) that Google is watching almost all of your online steps. What everyone does not know is that it's possible to know what the company knows about you and how much they know or deduce about your online profile, based on your behavior and what you do when you use your device.
Here are some links that will give you a greater understanding of what Google knows about you:
In advertising field
Google uses the information you own about you to deliver targeted ads to your profile. For this, it fits in different categories of tastes. You can find out which categories are best for you by clicking here.
Your location
One of the most horrifying things Google does is keep a detailed record of its site. This happens when you have a smartphone and allows the company to access this type of information to improve services like Google Now, which means: it's optional.
But this does not make the tool less difficult. You can see the company's information about its location in the link below. The company has also recently turned Location History into a feature within Maps, highlighting your trips and photos you've taken at a particular location. Thus, the tool has become more useful, but it is still a means to observe virtually every movement.
At the bottom, you can click Pause Location History if you're not comfortable sharing this type of data. You can also delete all your history by clicking the gear icon in the bottom right corner and selecting Delete all Location History.
Everything you searched for
Google also records everything you search for through detailed data on the most visited sites from searches done on the site below. It not only saves searches, but basically all of your activity is linked to a Google Account.
It is also interesting to note that if you also use voice search, either through your desktop or mobile phone, you will also find a search history saved there.
YouTube record
To recommend new videos, YouTube keeps information about what you're looking for and what you actually see in service. To check your search history, you can access it by clicking here.
If you want to see everything you've seen in the service, the link is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history
