Updates to how privacy settings work on Play

Hello Mark, We've updated settings that manage personalization and activity history on Play. You'll have dedicated controls for personalization on Play and for saving activity in your Google Account's Play History, and these settings will be easily accessible in the Google Play menu. In the past, personalization and history on Play were managed by Web & App Activity (WAA) settings in your Google Account. Going forward, WAA will no longer control Play personalization and Play History. Instead, you'll be able to manage those settings directly on Play, and you'll see this change in your account in the next few days. Learn more about Play personalization and Play History When the transition happens for your account, your Play settings will be based on the most recent choice you made in WAA, so your experience will stay the same. If you have WAA turned on during the transition, which is happening over the next few days, then your Play personalization and Play History settings will be on, and if WAA is off, then Play personalization and Play History will be off. As before, you'll be able to choose how long your activity is saved in your Play History and if you want to delete it from Play History manually or automatically. After the transition is complete, WAA and Play settings will be separate, and changes to one will no longer affect the other. You can view and change your Play privacy settings in Personalization in Play at any time. Learn more about the transition and how it affects your settings Thanks for using Google Play!
