What happens to your search activity after you deleted it

Google says on its site that it will delete the data connected to your account after you have completely deleted it. It is a highly useful thing to use a browser like DuckDuckGo. If you do not want your future search activity on the internet to be tracked or stored, you can go to settings in the Google browser and then enable ‘Stop Saving Activity’. Once you make this adjustment, your search activity will never be saved anymore.
