You can make some information on your Google Account private or visible to anyone. If you use any Google services—Gmail, Drive, Photos, Google, etc.—then you undoubtedly have a Google Profile. When you set up your Gmail account, you included information about yourself, like your name, birthday, and even places you’ve lived. If you haven’t taken the necessary steps to ensure this information stays private, then it could be out there for the whole world to see.

This information expands when you use more Google services. For example, if you use (or have ever used) Google+, then you likely have your work and personal emails, place of employment, places you’ve lived, and possibly even your phone number listed.

That way, you’re in control of who views info like your birthday or phone number across Google services.

On Computer Add, edit, or remove personal info

  4. Change your info:
    • Add: For each category you want to add info to, click Add userAdd. 
    • Edit: Click the info you’d like to change and then clickEdit Edit. 
      • Tip: If you’ve changed your name recently, you might need to wait before you can change it again.
    • Remove: Click the info you’d like to remove and then click Remove Delete.
  5. Follow the on-screen steps.

Tip: To change some other account info, like your password, go to your Google Account.
