It is not a secret that Google keeps records of what you search for using its services, and that includes Ok Google. Your voice and your request is recorded and the data is kept. That way, Google is able to make piles of information about you.
If you are not comfortable with Google storing such information, you can delete it. Follow the instructions below and you should be able to delete Ok Google history and prevent it from storing further data about you.
Delete Ok Google history
Remove one search term

Prevent Google from storing your searches
- Press the three dots and choose Settings.
