Google Will Take Care Of Your E-mails After You Die

Ever wondered what will happen to your digital data once you die. What if someone sneaks into your very confidential e-mails? Well Google has a solution!

Google has launched its inactive account manager page where you decide what will happen to your Blogger, Contacts and Circles, Drive, Gmail, Google+ Profiles, Pages and Streams, Picasa Web Albums, Google Voice and YouTube accounts and data after you die. You can choose between passing on the data to a close family member, notifying your contacts or deleting your account after inactivity. The feature allows you to specify total number of inactive months before killing your account. You can choose between 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Prior to performing the chosen options Google will send a reminder mail to your alternative e-mail. The feature is available in your Google accounts settings page.

Google said via their blogpost, "We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife - in a way that protects your privacy and security - and make life easier for your loved ones after you're gone.” Popular social networking website Facebook has an app called 'if I die' that passes across a last message and gives you the option to pick your trustee after your death.
