Hello business friends,
Good evening! Today, I would like to spark a conversation about what Google knows of you. I'm sure you have some idea, that whatever you do on your device, a company like Google and others alike know what you've been up to.
But do you ever wonder how much a company, such as Google, knows of you?
Google's file cabinet. Hah! Hah!

Let's face it. This is not new. Your browser says a lot about you. A big company like Google makes its money based on your activity on your browser. Those Ads that you see when searching through your browser are the results of your interests.
I'll give you a great example. I have a lot of Yahoo! e-mail accounts. On the side of my e-mails, I see lots of Ads. Someone is paying Yahoo! to stuff those Ads there. Yahoo! knows that I have bought things in the past from those Ads. So, it will use that info based on my past activities, to flash them as I go through my e-mails.
You might think that this is bad. I would too. But if you are paying for Google Ads, your Ads might be the one that Google uses to attract your potential customers.
If you would like to see and control what Google knows about you, the link below will take you there. https://adssettings.google.com
I personally, don't mind, but it is a good idea to know what information is there about you.
What do you think? Should you be alarmed? Do you care? Please share your thoughts and "anger" if you have any, after finding what Google knows of you. Lol!
Thanks for visiting.----John.
