Google Knows Everything About You (And So Do I)

I hope you enjoy reading this while having your morning coffee.

There you are, sitting behind that little screen of yours, surfing the Internet. Looking for some breaking news, useful information, celebrity gossip, or maybe something you’d rather not mention.

And you think posting a fake name and picture on social media keeps you anonymous?

You think you can sit there, type whatever you want, and nobody’s watching?

Well, bad news: you’re totally wrong.

Google Knows Things About You – And So Do I

I don’t work for Google. I work for Devenia. And I can see what you’re doing through our website statistics.

Here’s what Google knows about you:

• Your physical address – through your Google Maps searches and form submissions
• Your phone number – used for signup verification on Gmail and other services
• Your personal details – collected through every signup form and ad click
• Your location data – country, city, internet provider, IP address (and every time it changes)
• Your search history – every word you type, every site you visit, the exact date and time
• Your download activities – what you download and when
• Your financial details – if you use Google AdSense or any payment services
• Your emails – who you email, who emails you, and the contents of those messages
• Even if you don’t use Gmail – the contents of any email you send to someone who does
• Your social connections – your network, interests, and group memberships

So What Can You Do About It?
