Google Launches Inactive Account Manager


Worried about what happen to your online data after your death! If yes in that case Google has a solution for this. Inactivity Account Manager introduced by Google to let users choose to delete their data upon their death.

Inactivity Account Manager allows users to have their data deleted following a specific time frame or send their Google data to nominated third parties.

Thinking about death is unusual but planning for what happens after our death is really important “So ... we're launching a new feature that makes it easy to tell Google what you want done with your digital assets when you die or can no longer use your account." wrote by a Google person.


This tool handles data from Blogger, Contacts, Google Drive, G-mail, Google Plus, Picasa, Google Voice and YouTube. Users have the option to delete or transfer the data after an account inactivity period of at least 3 months.

Before Google deletes or sends out data it will issue emails and text messages to verify that it should go forward with the process.
