    Been offered to link my Google Activity 50 points for the first connection and 25 for upload. Then 25 points for further uploads (weekly)

    It wants to see your web & app activity and youtube. 

    I must have had web & app switched off. So had to enable and then try again, which recorded hitting the yougov site. Switched it back off again and will enable it again next week :)

    It doesn't just upload your full search history?
    It just logs sites you’ve visited and YouTube vids you’ve watched. You can see by going to

    https://myactivity.google.com/

    I had mine turned off. So there was nothing to see. YouGov wanted it back on. So did, uploaded and then switched it back off. 

    My history only shows me hitting the YouGov site and nothing before or after.

    I'm happily allowing Yougov's bots to crawl all over my bank accounts, streaming choices and Amazon purchases but even I draw the line at my browsing history. 
    You could allow them to look at your browsing history on another browser where you don’t browse what you don’t want to share 
    Actually yes, I've got a Google account that's lived on one phone and nowhere else, turned on every three months to make sure the SIM stays alive - that should do for an account and a browser too.
