I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It’s a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I’m doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so? Or does removing a contact really delete it from there?
You may find smth abt it within Google’s Support pages or their privacy policy
@Beagle thank you!
You’re welcome!
I’m pessimistic when it comes to companies using my data but I assume they will use and abuse that info forever.
100% yes, absolutely, as a database backup. Whether it’s stored elsewhere or used for any other purpose is another question.
We have no visibility into Google’s internal processes. The developers that work on the product would probably know, but the rest of us can only guess.
