"Scrolling through my Purchases, I couldn’t shake the most basic questions: What good reason is there for Google to store six years of detailed purchase information? Why can’t I delete it without deleting the emailed receipts? Why aren’t there default time limits on how long information is stored?"
- lern_too_spel 7y agoThese are silly questions. If you don't delete the email, Google still knows you made that purchase.
- simongr3dal 7y agoThere's a difference between the emails being stored on googles servers and being available for data extraction by their algorithms, and them keeping the extracted and indexed/queryable data stored as well as the emails.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoThere is no difference as far as what Google knows about you.
- jjeaff 7y agoWell, deleting them would presumably avoid future, more invasive / nefarious algorithms that are yet to be conceived of.
- UncleMeat 7y agoWhy? To me, there is no difference.
