Check the Apps that have access to your information and revoke access

Revoke access to app

Just a quick little info about websites storing your details. OAuth gives web developer access token that can be used to access your information that you granted access to when trying to access an app online, sometimes you want to revoke the access as you no longer use their service. Note that you're just revoke that app access, usually developers store all your information in DB on your first login.

To check who you're sharing info with:
1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/

2. In 'Sign in & Security' Tab click 'Connected apps & sites'


3. Under the 'Apps connected to your account' section click on 'Manage apps'.


4. Now you can click on any app and revoke the access. When you click it will also show you the stuff that the app can do on your behalf.

For example, here fiverr app has access to:
-My basic account info
- Age
- Language
- List of people from circle
- Basic profile info
