Are you concerned about the privacy of your data? So you can control the apps that access your Google account

Having a Google account is more than usual today. The same thing that years ago was having a Hotmail email account or later Outlook. The truth is that Google has been an example for many companies when it comes to creating an ecosystem of services around them

"

A Google account is not just mail in Gmail. It is storage in Drive, access to YouTube or the possibility of working with Maps. A trend that later, for example, we saw how other companies followed, in the case of Microsoft.The truth is that Google was the pioneer and that enabled its great growth to be used by many applications and utilities as a form of access When registering, couldn&39;t you Would it be more convenient to use an already established access than to have to enter all our data? We see it in a large number of services where we can log in with our Google or Facebook account, but what about when we don&39;t want them to have access to our account after a while?"

You'd be surprised how many apps we've given access to to our accounts. That is why it is convenient from time to time to carry out a sweep and thus eliminate those that do not interest us, either due to lack of use or because we simply do not want them to have access to our account. That is why we are going to explain the steps to follow to eliminate access permissions to our account, in this case Google, by third-party applications.

Given the importance that the privacy of our data has gained in recent times, it doesn't hurt to to have control over which applications access themWe give permissions too lightly and we would be surprised to see what that authorization consists of that we grant without reading all the terms.

Steps to follow

"

To remove access permissions to our Google account by third-party applications, the first step is to access the My Account section of Google. Once inside, we identify ourselves with the credentials of the account we want to manage."

"

The next step is to look within the section Login and security for the option Applications with access to the account. It is located in the area and we must click on it to see how a new page opens."

"

To regulate access we will see a link with the title Manage applications. We _click_ on it and we will see a list with all third-party applications or services to which we have given them access at a given time."

"

If we click on each of them we will see a new window on the screen with details about that application and the permissions granted. On the right, at the top, a button with the title Remove access."

By clicking on it we will eliminate the permissions of that application or service on our Google account. If we register again using our Google account, it will request access to our account again
