Google to 'auto-delete' web tracking history

Google is to offer users the option of automatically deleting their search and location history after three months.

The search giant has faced scrutiny over the personal data it collects. In November, it was accused of tracking where people went even when they had switched off location history.

And earlier this month, to the surprise of many people, Google said human reviewers sometimes listened to voice recordings from its Home speaker and Assistant app.
