Collected content includes things like location history, browsing details, videos viewed on YouTube, etc. Initially information collected from user behavior would be retained forever, but in 2019, Google allows users to automatically delete their web activity after 3 months or 18 months. However, the settings for Google to automatically delete data must be set manually.
