Inactive Account Manager in Google Account settings page - what happens digital assets when you when you die or become incapacitated.
What happens when you die? We're not talking theology here or trying to sell you life insurance. We are talking about digital assets when you when you die or become incapacitated
To the rescue comes Google, which has been known to have a few other
good ideas. It is launching a new feature that makes it easier for you
to instruct Google on what should happen to your digital assets when you
die or become incapacitated.
The feature is called Inactive Account Manager and it is now available on your Google Account settings page.
"You can tell us what to do with your Gmail messages and data from several other Google services if your account becomes inactive for any reason," said Andreas Tuerk, Google Product Manager on the company's blog.
"For example, you can choose to have your data deleted — after three, six, nine or 12 months of inactivity," Tuerk wrote. "Or you can select trusted contacts to receive data from some or all of the following services: +1s; Blogger; Contacts and Circles; Drive; Gmail; Google+ Profiles, Pages and Streams; Picasa Web Albums; Google Voice and YouTube."
