Cool, so its either: do YOU want to use shared data across your accounts as well, or only us (google)?

Text transcript for the blind :

Keep your Google services, like YouTube, linked?

YouTube, Google Search, Google Play, Ad services, Google Chrome, Google Shopping & Google Maps.

New laws in the EU mean that, starting on March 6, 2024, Google needs your consent if you want to keep these services linked. When linked, they can share data with each other and with all other Google services to :

  • Combine data to help personalize content and ads.
  • Develop and improve our services.
  • Measure and improve the delivery of ads
  • Perform other purposes described in Google’s Privacy Policy at g.co/privacypolicy

Things to know : Other settings let you control whether you see personalized content or ads. Linking Google services is not about sharing your data with third-party services.

What data is used : All types of personal data described in Google’s Privacy Policy can be shared across linked Google services.

What’s not changing : Even if they’re not linked, Google services can always share data with each other to prevent fraud and abuse, effectively help you complete tasks, and for certain other purposes.

You’re in control. You can change your choices anytime in your Google Account. Choices will take effect on March 6, 2024. Learn more about linked services. (I don’t have the link to transcribe).
