Google tracks you ! (#isoeh) GOOGLE TRACKS YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO Today, with the help of mobile sensors, Google is tracking our every foot steps and placing a red dot on its map to keep track of users’ records! Location is one of the most sensitive elements in everyone’s life. Where people go in the evening, at vacations - every data is a part of one’s private life and the existence of that data creates a real threat to privacy. The absence of notifying users only means an ignorance to the privacy of users. However, your records goes to the Google only if you have enabled ‘location services’ in your smartphone devices. If you have disabled this service in your phone then you will find no location data on the map. WHY TRACKING Google track on users, long been said, for the purpose of targeted advertisements. But tracking opens the door to surveillance not only by advertisers but governments as well. Many third parties already track smartphones and tablets by picking up their user data for various purposes, mostly commercial or ad-related. TURN OFF LOCATION SERVICE To disable the location service, select Settings > Privacy > Location and then untick the box next to Use my location.
