Choose which services remember you

When you use a service other than Google with your Assistant, a unique ID code is sent to the service so it can remember your actions and preferences during conversations.

• If you do not want a service to remember your past actions and preferences, reset your ID.
• If you do not want a service to remember your past or future actions and preferences, stop the service from remembering you.
