Use your Chrome history to personalize Google

When Chrome history that's saved to your Google Account is also added to Web & App Activity, your activity may be used to personalize your experience on other Google products, like Search. For example, you may find a news story recommended in your feed based on your Chrome history.

You can always control your Web & App Activity in your Google Account. Learn how to find and control your Web & App Activity.

In some countries, you may need to manage your linked Google services to use Chrome history for personalization and other services.

If you don't want to personalize your Google products, you can still use Google's cloud to store your Chrome data without letting Google read your Chrome history. Learn more about keeping your info private.

Keep your info private with a passphrase

With a passphrase, you can use Google's cloud to store and sync your Chrome data without letting Google read it. Your payment methods and addresses from Google Pay aren't encrypted by a passphrase.

Passphrases are optional. To reduce the risk of a data breach, your synced data is always protected by industry-leading encryption.

If you’re having trouble syncing with your passphrase, you may have to update Google Chrome to the latest version.

Create your own passphrase

When you have a passphrase:

You'll need your passphrase whenever you turn on sync somewhere new.
You'll need to enter your new passphrase on your devices where you have already turned on sync.
Your feed won’t show suggestions based on sites you browse in Chrome.
You can't check your saved passwords on passwords.google.com or use Smart Lock for Passwords.
All your history won't sync on all devices. Only web addresses that you enter in Chrome's address bar are synced.

Step 2: Create a passphrase

In Chrome, at the top right, select More Settings.
Select You and Google Sync and Google services.

Change or remove your passphrase

When you change your passphrase, the data encrypted by your passphrase is deleted from Google’s servers and you’re signed out from all your devices where you’re signed in. Your payment methods from Google Pay and your addresses aren't encrypted by a passphrase, so they won’t be deleted.

Your passwords and other info will be deleted from your Google Account.

Step 1: Remove the passphrase

On your computer, open Chrome.
