Title: Privacy Warning: Google Maps
Post by: JohnF on September 04, 2014, 16:21:38 PM
Did you know that Google never, ever, throw anything away.

A classic example is the locations or maps application used in Android smartphone - you can see how much data they have on you by logging in here (using same account details from your phone) and clicking through the location history.

https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0 (https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0)

If you dont use Google maps then there will be nothing to see.  However, if you use them a lot you might be surprised at what's there.

The level of accuracy is such that they actually tracked me through several rooms in my house and then showed when I went out to the shed in the back garden...
