Facebook stores everything from your stickers to your login location

Facebook besides stores what it thinks you might be interested in based off the things you've liked and what yous and your friends talk near (I evidently like the topic "girl").

Somewhat pointlessly, they also shop all the stickers you've ever sent on Facebook (I have no idea why they do this. Information technology'southward simply a joke at this stage).

They also store every time you log in to Facebook, where you logged in from, what time, and from what device.

And they shop all the applications you've ever had connected to your Facebook account, so they can gauge I'thousand interested in politics and web and graphic pattern, that I was unmarried between X and Y flow with the installation of Tinder, and I got a HTC phone in November.

(Side note, if you have Windows 10 installed, this is a picture of just the privacy options with xvi different sub-menus, which have all of the options enabled by default when you lot install Windows 10)

And Google has information y'all deleted

This is my Google Drive, which includes files I explicitly deleted including my résumé, my monthly upkeep, and all the code, files and websites I've always fabricated, and even my PGP private key, which I deleted, that I utilise to encrypt emails.

data

Google tin know your workout routine

This is my Google Fit, which shows all of the steps I've e'er taken, any time I walked anywhere, and all the times I've recorded whatever meditation/yoga/workouts I've done (I deleted this data and revoked Google Fit'due south permissions).

data

And they take years' worth of photos

This is all the photos ever taken with my telephone, broken down by yr, and includes metadata of when and where I took the photos

data

Google has every e-mail you ever sent

Every email I've ever sent, that'south been sent to me, including the ones I deleted or were categorised as spam.

data

And there is more

I'll but do a short summary of what'due south in the thousands of files I received under my Google Activity.

Offset, every Google Ad I've ever viewed or clicked on, every app I've ever launched or used and when I did it, every website I've ever visited and what time I did it at, and every app I've e'er installed or searched for.

data
'They take every single Google search I've made since 2009.'

They also have every prototype I've ever searched for and saved, every location I've ever searched for or clicked on, every news article I've ever searched for or read, and every single Google search I've made since 2009. And and then finally, every YouTube video I've e'er searched for or viewed, since 2008.

This information has millions of nefarious uses. You say yous're not a terrorist. Then how come you were googling Isis? Work at Google and you're suspicious of your wife? Perfect, simply look up her location and search history for the last ten years. Manage to proceeds admission to someone's Google account? Perfect, you lot have a chronological diary of everything that person has washed for the final 10 years.

This is one of the craziest things nigh the modern age. We would never let the government or a corporation put cameras/microphones in our homes or location trackers on us. But we only went alee and did it ourselves because – to hell with it! – I want to watch beautiful dog videos.
