Read Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


That only clears the iPhone's locally stored data. On the other hand Google can retain everything you ever searched for, typed in its search page, browsed or loaded, forever and in perpetuity, for all eternity.

"We then begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems."


How long does that process take? A week? A month? A century? And what exactly are "other types of data" that are exempt from even that timeline?


Do you still want to use Google?
