Does deleting a Google account also remove non-public data that you haven't openly shared, such as search records and Android-related GPS data?

- pll23 14y agoI hope not. What a trove. Imagine if we had every household conversation from the ancient Mesopotamians or even Roman times. Nobody from that time would give a flying hoot that we know what they said and did. The big area for abuse is now, during the person's life. afterwards why not seal it for a thousand years and then pass it all on unfiltered for the future historians and population to do whatever they want with. send it to the moon!
- crymer11 14y agoAnother commenter's reply (which has been marked dead) brought up a great point about the value of this information for people in the future. I want and expect privacy now and for the near future, but when my (future) grandchildren's grandchildren are gone (hell, not even that far from now), that information being aired publicly won't hurt me and could reasonably provide the future some benefit.
