What is Web & App Activity in Google?
As mentioned in the beginning, Google Web & App Activity records your activities while you use Google services. Google uses that data to tailor customized ads and showcases them to you for profit. While personalized ads can help you choose a product or service according to your needs, it is also a breach of privacy if we look past Google’s sugar-coated description of why it collects user data. When you start using any Google service, the tech giants consider it a yes to collect data; hence, it’s up to you to turn off google web and app activity.
