How your activity is deleted

When you choose to delete activities manually, or when the activity is automatically deleted based on your auto-delete setting, we will immediately begin the process of removing it from the product and our systems.

First, we aim to immediately remove it from view and the data can no longer be used to customize your Google experience.

We then initiate a process designed to securely and completely delete the data from our storage systems.

In addition to helping you delete data manually or automatically, Google can also delete certain types of activity more quickly if it is no longer useful to improve your experience.

For limited purposes, such as business or legal requirements, Google may do thisstore certain types of datafor a longer period.
