Some time ago, Google announced that it would start using information from your Google account in its advertisements across the web. Under a program, it dubbed " Shared Endorsements", your photo, name and other personal information can be used to promote Google services within your network of friends. Unless you change your preferences, Google will begin using your info in its ads.
Just imagine you endorsing a product which you are not even aware of. Scary, ah. Do not worry.
Lets put a full stop to this. Stop your info from being used by Google. Respect your own privacy even if Google doesn't give a damn care to it.
1. Make sure you are logged into Google account.
2. Click on Privacy(below your profile photo)
3. Under Tools and Information, click visit Google account settings.
4. Click Edit settings under Google+ Settings.
5. Click on Shared Endorsements and then uncheck the box at the bottom of the page.
Do not forget to click Save.
