Account Activity : Google provides monthly stats on signed-in use of Google services

Written on 28 March 2012 by Vincent Abry

Google just launched “Account Activity“, a new online service with email alerts that allows you to receive monthly reports about your full activity on signed-in use of Google services.

These reports will allow you to track everything you do while signed-in in your Google account :

-the number of searches on Google
-the number of emails sent and received via Gmail
-the countries from which you have logged in (useful for security, if you live in US and China appears in the list of countries, may be you have a problem … unless your clone/avatar is playing you a trick!^^)
-the number of YouTube videos viewed

Removing your Web browsing History will not affect the summary report because these data are still recorded. But you can delete your reports at any time.

To start just go on this page and opt-in with your email (you need to be connected to your Google account) :

opt-in google

Then you have a confirmation message. Now you just need to relax and wait for your report to come in the next days :

Here is what the report will look like :
