I found this very interesting today…
Google Inactive Account Manager
With the service, you can setup what happens to your Google account(s) after an extended time of inactivity.
So if you haven’t logged in to Google for a certain timeframe, they’ll check in with you to make sure you’re OK (via text message and email).
If you don’t respond, they can either alert a chosen person or completely delete your account if you wish.
The trusted person(s) can also download all your data if they’d like as well or you can select the data they’re allowed to download.
That’s a pretty nice feature for a company that knows so much about us.
Also, if you haven’t checked lately, now may be a good time to check in with your Google Account settings to make sure it’s secure and your privacy is in place.
