How to Lock Down Your Google Account in 5 Minutes

You can't fully escape big tech, but you can turn a lot of the dials down. Here's a fast pass:

  1. 1.
    Kill (or limit) activity tracking
    • • Go to: https://myaccount.google.com/intro/activitycontrols
    • • Turn off anything you don't want saved, especially:
      • - Web & App Activity
      • - Location History
      • - YouTube History
  2. 2.
    Review and delete past activity
    • • Go to: https://myactivity.google.com/
    • • Use the filters to review what's stored.
    • • Delete by:
      • - Item
      • - Day
      • - Or choose Delete activity by → All time if you want a full wipe.
  3. 3.
    Turn off or tighten ad personalization
    • • Go to My Ad Center: https://myadcenter.google.com/
    • • Or Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
    • • Turn off personalized ads where possible, or remove topics/brands you don't want used.
  4. 4.
    Lock down Chrome's ad privacy (if you use Chrome)
    • • In Chrome, open Settings → Privacy and security → Ad privacy.
    • • Turn off options like:
      • - Ad Topics
      • - Site-suggested ads
      • - Ad measurement
  5. 5.
    Optionally: grab a copy of your data
    • • Go to Google Takeout: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout
    • • Choose which products to export.
    • • Create an archive so you know what's actually stored about you.

Do this once, then set a reminder to review these settings every few months. Big platforms quietly change defaults—staying private is now an ongoing habit, not a one-time switch.
