Google is quietly following the globe!
Concerned information from the Associated Press
San Francisco: If we are stepping forward, we have been quietly collecting "Google" footprint, which has been reported by the Associated Press about 2 billion people around the globe.Princeton's computer science researcher also made clear about Google's observation.
Introducing the timeline on the Google Map as of last year, where users go, come and collect all the stuff. However, Google has also given the opportunity to turn off those who do not like this feature. In addition, we also said that if you turned off location history, we did not store your location. AP has revealed that Google now stores all of our "Actions" while turning off the Timeline Storage feature.
Researchers say that the problem is about 2 billion people using Android smartphones. Moreover, those who use Google Maps in the iPhone also face this privacy problem.
Google has stated that we are using location information in a number of ways to improve people's experience. That is, information is obtained through location history, web and app activity and device level location services. It also states that people can always delete their location history.
