Google Privacy Settings

Share as less data as possible with google. Here are my recommendations for how to configure your google settings. 
 1. Go to your Google Dashboard 
 2. Change the following services: 
 Calendar (export and delete all existing calendars) [only on switch to other calendar service] 
 Contacts (export and delete all existing contacts) [only on switch to other contact service] 
 Photos (export and delete all photos) [if you want cloud backup of your photos, use something like nextcloud] 
 Drive (export and delete all data) [use something like nextcloud] 
 3. Change your activity data 
 Search Activity: off ( delete existing data ) [don't forget to change your search engine to duckduckgo] 
 Location History: off ( delete existing data )
