A few days ago, the TikTok user @yorgoandlea posted a video that has since accumulated thousands of comments and hundreds of thousands of views. In the short video, she showed that all you need to do, to see what Google knows about your Internet-connected travel and research activities, is to perform a simple Google search by the text string “google ad settings.”The search will then direct you to a page that shows all categories of topics that Google has found, or that it estimates, apply to you.

In my case, the information is quite accurate, but it will not always be so, if some of TikTok’s comments are any indication. Some users have found the listed age to be entirely wrong or the observed interests to be completely inaccurate. In my case, Google discovered me very well, considering all things. He got my demographics right, and that the most significant interests I have are related to various areas of technology. However, further down the list are the categories of country music, flowers and pets that do not apply to me in any way. Later, I went ahead and removed those items, so I don’t see ads about them, I hope. You can find your own information by visiting this page.
Whether or not you find the information Google has collected about you, it’s just generalized information based on your search patterns, “login activity on Google services (like Search or YouTube), as well as your activity on websites and non-Google applications. ”
In addition, this information is private, so only you and Google will see it. In addition, the company notes that it will not share or sell its data externally. Anyway, tell us what you think of this and if Google discovered your digital footprint in the comments below.
