There are times when we all get a tiny bit paranoid that somebody — like the Illuminati, the world government, a clandestine spy organization or an alien mothership — is secretly watching us. Keeping tabs on our personal information. Noting down every single, tiny, little thing that we do. [Looks around, peers out of the window, glances at the sky].
As it turns out, there’s no need to worry about secret groups creating a data storage on us because it’s actually happening every single day, right under our noses and in our pockets. Some internet users did a very scary thing — they downloaded their Google data, Facebook profiles and cloud storages, went through it and then posted the most unsettling things they found. Please applaud these courageous individuals who battled intense embarrassment to make us laugh. Here’s a list of the very best responses, so scroll down, upvote the ones you feel are the most interesting, and share them with your pals.

All phone activity(opened app, closed app etc) from the very first day I owned my phone, constant check of my GPS, constant check of my device orientation. If someone steals your google account, they basically can found out everything there is to find out about you

"My Activity" is empty. It has been for a long time, so, there shouldn't be anything for me to download, right?
... Nope. 6GB of data.

Not the google, but hopefully on topic
I have downloaded my data from Facebook, and the most shocking one was a recorded phone conversation of about 30 minutes long. It was dated back around 5-7 years ago, and most surprisingly it was not even me who was speaking and I could not even recognize who it was...

I just checked mine. I've apparently used google voice commands twice. Once to say "search" and another time to say "testing testing." These were both said over a year ago.

My purchase history on websites like eBay, Amazon and other companies that (I guess) all sell their data about me to Google. I ha dno idea of it and although I share things like my location to Google, seeing my purchases is kind of scary because I never allowed it.

I found my google search log from 2006 (!!!!!). I was a young, stupid teenager. Searched for: “Nude girl”.

LOL. I checked my entire history of voice recordings and it was just me trying the lumox maxima and nox commands and nothing else. Apparently I already turned it off and I forgot I did.

So many drunken audios. Like, not even meant for the phone, just background talking while (most of the times) very drunk, it was half unsettling half fun to listen to them. Apparently when you press the microphone on the keyboard (I think it's for changing audio to text) it gets sent to Google. And apparently my drunken self is very prone to missclick it.

I have around 340 recordings. Most are of me using the voice command "okay Google" but there are a fair few that are just background recordings. I can hear myself talking to my mates or singing etc, but i think they've been recorded by me accidentally pressing the home button on my phone, similar to a pocket dial. I wasn't expecting that many recordings but nothing nefarious as far as I can tell.
