Google has completely disabled location data collection

You may believe that turning off “Google Location History” from your Account (myactivity.google.com) prevents Google from tracking your movements. Google claims that the feature helps Google provide better to users knowing where you are and where you have been. However, Google claims that “Location History” is disabled by default and can only be enabled with the user's permission.

So far, we've told you how to turn off Location History and how to delete all past activity saved by Google. However, Google will not stop tracking you. It will still collect information and store your personal location data when you visit Google websites, apps and services such as Google Maps. It could also collect location data from your photos too, depending on how you set it up your phone's camera.

To stop Google from tracking you, you must stop monitoring web activity and applications from myactivity.google.com. In the Web and Application Activity section, click the arrow. This will take you to activity controls. Turn off the Web and Application Activity button and you'll see a warning explaining what might happen once you stop Web and Application Activity Monitoring.

For example, Google says: “Pausing web and app Activity may limit or disable more personalized στις υπηρεσίες της Google. Για παράδειγμα, μπορεί να σταματήσετε να βλέπετε πιο σχετικά αποτελέσματα αναζήτησης ή προτάσεις για μέρη που σας ενδιαφέρουν. Αυτή η ρύθμιση θα τεθεί σε παύση σε όλους τους ιστότοπους , εφαρμογές και συσκευές που είναι συνδεδεμένες σε αυτόν τον λογαριασμό. Ακόμη και όταν αυτή η ρύθμιση έχει τεθεί σε παύση, η Google μπορεί να χρησιμοποιήσει προσωρινά πληροφορίες από πρόσφατες αναζητήσεις, προκειμένου να βελτιώσει την ποιότητα της ενεργής περιόδου σύνδεσης αναζήτησης.”2021 11 12 9 50 34
