Google Privacy Checkup

SOB: Son of a Bos'n Posted on July 10, 2020 by BobJuly 10, 2020  

[Your Name], complete your Privacy Checkup

You received an email message that looks like it came from Google, but you are not sure.

Take a Privacy Checkup

We’ll walk you through key privacy settings step-by-step to help you choose what’s right for you.

From: Google Account <>

This is a message to help set your personal privacy preferences related to your privacy and give permission to Google to track your personal data.

If you click on the Start Now button, you should see something like this.

It will lead you through a review of your key settings & the data Google uses to personalize your experience using screen such as this one.

If it doesn’t look like this, then I would worry. However, if it looks like this, I would expect it to be safe. Clicking on the two links should bring you to more “google” web pages.

Learn More: This should point to support.google.com

Manage Web & App Activity: This should point to myactivity.google.com

If those links do not go to those google sites, please follow the instructions on this page: Prevent & report phishing attacks

Enjoy your explorations and be safe out there.
