Google Could users inherit Digital Data

What happens if we are so active in the Internet dies? Nobody can answer, but I offer a solution.

The solution is Inactive Account Manager. This is a new feature designed to manage the assets of Google you, whether it's Gmail email or documents to your Google Drive when you die (I call it 'no longer active').

The users can manipulate their choices in the settings and can determine whether their data is deleted after a certain period of time 'no longer active' which can be up to 12 months, or they ask for selected contacts to pass on their data.


"We hope this new feature allows you to design a digital life after death and make life easier for those of your loved ones after you're gone," Google wrote in a blog post, as quoted by the New Scientist.

Google will check if you die before removing all your Google documents and such, or via text to your cell phone that reminds a breaking point 'inactivity' is getting closer.

This feature obviously helps as long as the account owner's family who died difficult to access Gmail's dead because death certificates and must show evidence to prove the email chatter and the heirs of the deceased to know each other.
