On your desktop when you are signed in and query on google, some of the queries add private results in form of cards | |
on the results page. On further review of your privacy settings, you will realise that at some point of time you had | |
opted in for "show private results". | |
Now I do understand the idea of personalization, but what we are experiencing now is rather aggressive,to an extent of | |
being creepy. | |
I think it's a good point in time to review your privacy settings. | |
Some queries that you might want to try | |
-------------- | |
home | |
booking | |
hotels | |
flights | |
past flights | |
credit card payment | |
mobile payment | |
photos | |
Pizza (Subsitute with something else you ordered recently) | |
PersonA (Subsitute it with some person in your phone contacts) | |
my mail | |
lufthansa (Subsitute with any other company with which you have loyalty program) | |
amazon | |
dhl | |
Feel free to test and share what queries surprised you! | |
Turning it off : | |
1. The only way to turn it off is to go to https://www.google.de/preferences and then select "Do not use private results" | |
in the private results section. | |
2. Inspite of doing this I can still see the results for Maps, which I am trying to learn to switch off. |
