Android Central 's Phil Nickinson just posted an article: The single reason I trust Google with my data

The single reason I trust Google with my data | Android Central

He thinks it's creepy how much google knows about him. I think it's kind of scary.

I am curious how bad it is for Priv users: would you please check in your Google account, my activity section, and see how much data is being tracked by Google?

Thanks!

I have always been on BlackBerry, when I checked mine, the only history data seems to be searches and YouTube videos. Even though I uses Google Maps from time to time but it didn't seem to record my location information.

I wonder what's recorded for a Priv user.

You do know you can turn all that off right?

I had already turned off most everything.
But this got my curiosity up, so I went and looked. It seems I had not turned off search and sites visited.
It's now off and deleted back to Dec 1, 1999, (just cuz I got tired of clicking the back button). You cannot enter a date from, you have to click back through each month on a monthly calander.
Thanks for the reminder!
