Update 6/21: Managing your Google account is about to get a little easier.

Google today launched a refreshed Account page, which "includes new features to more easily navigate your account, more prominent security and privacy options, and detailed summaries of relevant information," Product Manager Jan Hannemann explained in a blog post. At this point, the redesign is only available on Android, but Google plans to roll it out to iOS and the web "later this year."

The page should make it a lot easier to locate what you're looking for: a new search feature lets you find settings and other account information while a new support section offers instructions on common tasks like upgrading your storage.

Google says the new "intuitive, user-tested design" makes it easier to review your privacy options. From the "Data & personalization" tab, you can choose what activity data is saved to your account (that can be everything from your Web and app activity to your location). There, you can also access Google's recently updated Privacy Checkup tool, which lets you review your privacy settings and offers "personalized recommendations."

Google will also now display a notification if it detects there's something to can do to improve your security.

"For example, we might suggest you remove your account from old devices you're no longer using or remove unverified apps you had granted access to your account data," Hannemann wrote.

Original Story (5/11):
Google is getting more transparent about the information it collects about you, and how you can manage your data. Its new Privacy Policy—slated to take effect on May 25 to coincide with Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—should be a lot more readable than the old one.

"We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for; explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language; and added more detail about the options you have to manage, export, and delete data from our services," William Malcolm, who leads Google's EMEA-based privacy legal function, wrote in a Friday blog post.

Google isn't changing any of its policies with this update; it's just explaining them better. To read Google's updated Privacy Policy, head here. Google will also be sending out emails to all users about the update.

Besides that, Google tweaked the My Account hub, which lets you review your security, privacy, and ad settings, to comply with GDPR. From the My Activity section, you can view all your activities Google has kept track of and permanently delete anything you don't want associated with your account.

It's also worth heading over to the Activity Controls section to review and manage the activity data Google is saving with your account. That could include your location history, web and app activity, YouTube search history, and more.

Meanwhile, with Google's recently updated Ads Settings tool and Mute This Ad control, you can manage the ads you see and block unwanted ones. In the "coming months," Google plans to simplify "the look and feel" of these tools to make them easier to use, Malcolm said.

Google is also "improving and expanding" its Download Your Data tool, which lets you export your data from Google Photos, Drive, Calendar, Play Music, and Gmail onto your computer or a storage service like Dropbox. The company plans to add support for more services and create a new setting that will let you schedule regular downloads.

Google isn't the only one gearing up for GDPR. Apple has been more strictly enforcing existing App Store rules around app data collection, storage, use, and sharing ahead of the new regulation.
