You're gonna go run a privacy checkup, then open my activity. Review what Google is saving. Pause anything that you don't want collected, and delete the history that you do not want retained. Next, we're gonna go to our social accounts. In Instagram, open account center, then your information and permissions, then upload contacts. Turn off contact syncing and separately remove contacts already uploaded if you want them gone. Last, your AI accounts.
