Google, how safe is it?

[Nicky91]

this morning i had made a google account, because for one eurovision fan contest you need to fill in a sign up form countries list you want via google

i didn't trust it that much, and i deleted it


but my question is now, can they still bother me via mail despite me having removed my account completely



i know there are millions of people who use google so i think i wouldn't get noticed too much, and now having deleted it, i'm gone from their list of users, right


i just am a bit paranoid with these sort of computer things, and i get paranoid more because i care about the safety of my computer

Big mistake, Nicky, they have your data now, I hope your bank is secure

Under new GDPR rules Nicky you cannot be contacted unless you give your express permission, companies risk big fines if they do not comply so I think you will be fine

and btw everything online isn't safe, but it depends what you share or do


i haven't shared or done anything in those moments i made the account and removing it

i know but it's a relief for me now, i only made that account with the thought of otherwise i couldn't take part in that fan contest anymore

but i wasn't planning on using that for more things since i didn't trust google docs before i made the account for that

i don't think i'm a subject of interest for them anymore since i no longer have a account now

you guys can use google, and i have it as my search browser still but people like me who get scared easily shouldn't have a account

they only want to know your location, to monitor your area of suspicious activity regarding hackers

I am a bit worried about using TiBB after this. :(

Jessica we should not let fear dominate our lives, we have some control of what we share or do online

Lol are you afraid of a Google account?
