What does Google know about you?

Google has released an interesting new feature in the wake of the high profile change to their privacy policy.  Google Account Activity will email you a report of your monthly activity across varios Google products. Google states on the opt-in page that the report will include such data as how many emails you have sent, your top searches, how many people have viewed you YouTube videos, etc.

Account Activity is still in Beta, but you can sign up here.  Since the report is run monthly I have yet to receive my first. I will definitely write up another post when I get it. 

Understanding what data is being tracked on line is a good step in understanding just how far your digital footprint reaches. It would be interesting to have students sign up for the report and discuss the results as a class.

Just how much does Google know about me? I can't wait to find out.
