Hi all

I'm quite new to Android, but I'm not keen on Google keeping copies of everything I do. Whatever your opinion, that's beside the point. This is just the background story.

When I signed in to Google Play it asked me if I wanted to keep everything backed-up on Google's servers. I said no. But I just saw that in Accounts it says it is syncing everything. Now I've not made a mistake. I was very careful to say no to everything it asked.

That's the scenario. Now my question is what is the easiest way to see what data Google has got copies of?

Thanks
 
Go to your Gmail account and then look for Accounts then under that should be Products.
Click on that and it will show you what you have installed and there you will see search history ext. clear stuff from there.
 
If you want Google to store nothing, you really shouldn't be using the web. Google sees everything we do, there's no getting around it, for the mobile side, don't want google sniffing about? Only option is, is to not use Android.

No. You just turn off things like "auto sign in" "search" don't use google maps ect.
Google doesn't know what phone\make I have ;)
 
The correct answer is Google Dashboard.

Special congratulations to those of you who developed tunnel vision while reading the background and ignored the question entirely.
