# Set Activity Controls for Your Account

In order to use the Google Assistant, you must share certain activity data with
Google. The Google Assistant needs this data to function properly; this is not
specific to the SDK. To share this data, create a
[Google account](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441)
if you don't already have one.

Open the [Activity Controls page](https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols)
for the Google account that you want to use with the Assistant. You can use any
Google account---it does not need to be your developer account.

**Ensure the following toggle switches are enabled (blue)**:

- Web \& App Activity
  - In addition, be sure to select the **Include Chrome history and activity
    from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services** checkbox.
- Device Information
- Voice \& Audio Activity
