Just about every online service out there stores a TON of your personal data, but Google probably has the most data on you. This company knows more about you than you do at this point, and it can be a pain in the neck tracking down specific data on you. Thankfully, Google has a new support page for you to properly manage your data.
How does this new Google support page let you manage your data?
The key word here is organization. This page allows you to view and edit your information across different Google services, and it shows you a clean and straightforward interface. When you go to the new support page, you’ll see items populating three distinct sections. These sections are Manage your personal information in your Google Account, Edit your information & control what others can find about you, and Find & manage your profiles.
The First section gives you options to edit the name associated with your Google account. If you change this name, it will change across all of the Google apps that you use. You can also add or change the email addresses associated with your account. Obviously, you can’t change your main email address for your account, but you can edit your recovery email addresses.
This first section also lets you add/edit information like your work and education information. Also, you can edit your personal data like your house address, your personal introduction, and links associated with you.
The second section allows you to change the kind of information that other people can see about you. This information includes your gender, birthday, phone number, and address. Also, you can choose who has access to this information.
The third section lets you manage your profiles. These are similar to social media profiles that show your name and profile. Some apps like YouTube and Google Maps have profiles that people can view.
When you click on any of these items, it will take you to the respective page on the Google Accounts page. It allows you to more easily find the kind of information that you’re looking for.
