OT: Who is my Google Calendar Administrator?

Nope. You can add your birthday in Google, and you can change it, but once you add your birthday they’re going to have a birthday for you. I thought of entering February 29th, but oh well . . .

The good news is you can turn off their birthdays calendar. Past discussions I found indicated that for a while they cluttered your calendar with all the birthdays they had for anybody they’d ever seen you connect with.

Since I don’t use my Gmail box, I never had to experience that. :) 

They have matured a bit in this area, exposing all the contacts in one place:  google.com/contacts

Check your contacts, it is probably there. If you delete a birthday in contacts, it will not appear in your calendar.

if you entered the birthday manually in your calendar, you should be able to delete it. 

I am not sure how you have your Google account/calendar set up. I use Google Apps, so I can have my own domain for gmail, so I am the administrator for my calendars.

Google has kind of merged much of its backend data. So if any Google services have that information they all do.

OK, so one of the windmills that I like to tilt is limiting how much Google knows about me. :) 

I do use Google Calendar. I had the “Birthdays” checkbox enabled, and it wished me a happy birthday. I spun through my busy calendar to see how many birthdays are listed, and it’s a tiny handful, I think four people besides myself.

My birthday is on a busy day, so I tried to delete my birthday. Cawn’t be done. I would have to contact the Calendar Administrator, they say. But it doesn’t say who the administrator is for the birthday calendar.

It’s OK, I have simply disabled the Birthday Calendar, which will not be missed. But I’m curious who that mysterious administrator is.

I guess the real answer is, If I gave Google my birthday, where did I do that?
