Although there are many who worry about the online privacy, the reality is that Google stores a lot of data about us. Just by surfing the Internet, we are already leaving a trace, but when we use a Android mobile, which is always connected to our Google account, the amount of information we leave behind us is even greater.
The sites we visit applications that we use, and even the places we move through, are stored on the servers of the Internet giant.
The data that Google has about us
The websites we visit
You have probably noticed that when you enter a website, for example hotels, then ads for the hotels you have been looking at appear on other pages. This is because Google stores information about the sites we visit, not only when we do it from our Android mobile, but whenever we do it from any device in which we are connected with the Google account. Also the cookies, reveal our trail on the internet.
The places we move through
Google is capable of storing information about the areas through which we move, thanks to the location of our Android mobile. And even if we have GPS disabled, it is possible that we leave traces if we connect to WiFi networks. This that may seem a bit "terrifying" is the reason why Google Now it can show us the way home or to work, without us having to manually enter the information.
The apps we use
If you enter the Google Play Store, you can see how they appear to you app suggestions to download depending on the other apps you have downloaded on your Android device. To do this, Google does not have to carry out too much "espionage", since most of the apps that we have installed on our smartphones have been downloaded from its own application store, so we are giving them permission to have data, although many times we are not aware of the consents we give.
Although Google stores all this information to provide us with better services, there are many users who are concerned that all the data that exists about them could end up in the wrong hands. What do you think?
