Wanna have a good scare. Go to [Takeout.google.com](http://takeout.google.com/) to find out what Google knows about you. You can export all this data and save it locally. However, remember that if someone hacked your account, they could also export it. There are about 50 different type of activities, this is just a sample: 

Browsing History  
Location History  
YouTube History  
Google Meet Recording  
Hangout  
Calendar  
Contacts  
Drive  
Shopping  
Photos  
Fit  
And much much more…

 

As you can see it may take time to export all of that info

 

## So what can you do about this?

You can go to [https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy](https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy) and start toggling off anything you don't want Google to share.

And while you are there, go to [https://myaccount.google.com/security](https://myaccount.google.com/security) and turn on "2-step verification". This will protect your account if someone [for example phished you](https://www.wizer-training.com/blog/email-phishing-template-february) and got hold of your password. Now, because they won't have the code sent to your phone, the password would not be enough to take over your account.  Not convinced? Check How [Multi Factor Authentication Can Save You](https://www.wizer-training.com/blog/quick-guide-to-multi-factor-authentication)

Lastly, scroll up a little and look at the "Recent Security Activity". Is there any activity you don't recognize? Like someone logged in from a location you don't recognize, ect. Now, Do this every so often.. It's good to keep tabs on what's going on with your account to keep bad people out.
