Google Offers Auto-Delete for Location History, Activity Data - ConsumerReports.org

New Google privacy settings will let consumers automatically delete—after a specified time—data the company collects about their routine locations, search habits, and browsing history.

"You should always be able to manage your data in a way that works best for you," Google said in a blog post introducing the change, "and we’re committed to giving you the best controls to make that happen."

According to the company, the new controls will roll out over the next few weeks for the Location History setting and Web & App Activity, which records your searches, browsing history, and behavior on Google's apps.
