How your activity is deleted
When you choose to delete activity manually or
activity is deleted automatically based on your
auto-delete setting, we immediately start the
process of removing it from the product and our
systems.
First, we aim to immediately remove it from view
and the data may no longer be used to personalize
your Google experience.
We then begin a process designed to safely and
completely delete the data from our storage
systems.
Along with helping you delete data manually or
automatically, Google may delete some types of
activity sooner when it’s no longer useful to
improve your experience.
For limited purposes, like business or legal
requirements, Google may retain certain types of
data for an extended period of time.
Deleting your Maps activity won’t affect things like:
• Visits from your Location History
• Other Web & App Activity, such as related
searches or website clicks
• Saved lists or labels you added
• Reviews, photos, edits, or feedback reports you
submitted
• Other Maps data not associated with your
account
