Deleting your Google search history from your device removes it from your local browser data. However, Google might still retain a copy of your search history.
Here's a breakdown of why:
- Google Account Activity: Google stores your search history and other online activity associated with your account, even if you delete it locally.
- Data Retention: Google might keep your deleted search history for various reasons, such as improving its services, personalizing your experience, and complying with legal obligations.
- Third-Party Access: If you've granted access to apps or services, they might have access to your Google search history.
- Network and ISP Records: Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can log your online activity, including your search history, even after you delete it locally.
In summary, deleting your Google search history locally does not guarantee complete privacy. Google and other parties might still have access to your past search history.
