Google still tracking you even after opting out
An investigation from the Associated Press has revealed that many Google services store your location data even if you have updated your privacy settings to not track or store this data.
In response to the critism the company has received since this information was revealed, Google updated the help page from saying "… with Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored." to now saying "This setting does not affect other location services on your device" and acknowledges that "some location data may be saved as part of your activity on other services, like Search and Maps.".
Are you surprised that Google may still have been tracking your location and storing the data even after you opted out? Will you be looking to move away from using Google's services in the near future due to privacy concerns?
