With the Social Privacy feature, you can learn which of your personal data is collected by Google, clear your search history and disable the collection of data.

Manage your Google history

Manage your Google data tracking

If you stop data tracking for apps and web search, personalization of your Google services may be limited. For example, Google may stop recommending places of interest to you, and your web search results may become less relevant. Data tracking will be disabled in all apps and on all websites and devices where you are logged into the same account. After you stop data tracking, for some time Google may still use the information collected about your recent search to improve the web search results during the active session. Disabling tracking does not cause all previously collected information to be deleted. You can review and delete this and other data on myactivity.google.com. Visit policies.google.com to learn more about the data that Google will still collect and why.

With the Social Privacy feature, you can check your current privacy settings on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Telegram and set them directly in the Kaspersky app.

To check and manage your Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Telegram privacy settings:

  1. Open Kaspersky app.
  2. Open the Social Privacy section. Read through the information screens that appear when you open the section for the first time.
  3. On the main Social Privacy screen, go to the Services section and tap the service name. Sign in to your Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Telegram account when prompted.
  4. Tap the privacy settings category you want to review. Then set any custom rules that you want.
