In today's digital life, protecting personal information is extremely important. Once your private information is made public, it can lead to many inconveniences and dangers. And in an unexpected way, Google, the world's leading technology company, has provided a hidden feature to help you track and protect your personal data.

According to Statista, Google holds about 83% of the online search market, far surpassing competitors such as Microsoft's Bing, Yahoo or DuckDuckGo. This means that if someone wants to find information about you, they will most likely search on Google first.
