Google knows where you’ve been!
This is definitely one of the most shocking things Google knows about you, but you already guessed this, didn’t you? Certain Google services indeed track your position to offer location-based services, but they still know where you are and have been.
In essence, Google Maps keeps track of your whereabouts. As a navigation app, that is what it is meant to accomplish. The geographical information that Google records is the basis for the traffic congestion notifications that we receive.
Do you want to know more about all the things Google knows about you? But promise you won’t panic! Google is also aware of the locations of your images and Google Assistant and Google Photos also track your activities.
But unfortunately, by accepting the user agreement you give Google permission to share this information with others even if it may feel like a danger to your online privacy! All apps should have their location services disabled, except for navigation software and other apps that require your location to function.
Now, if you want to creep yourself out launch Timeline on a desktop computer and select the year tab located in the top left corner of the screen. To view a list of the most popular locations, select the all-time option and then click the red box in the lower-left corner. You’ll be surprised!

Probably it is ok
Scary!
How can I erase some of this information or all of this?????
Another reason to use DuckDuckGo.
Don’t have anything to hide so hopefully it is ok. But then again there are somethings about my health that I thought was private or searches for that matter. So never really thought about it before. Don’t know what to think now. Might be ok and again can be scary.
I’m old school-secret squirrel. Don’t like ANYBODY knowing something about me that i don’t tell them!
Harmless, mostly, but if you do not want it out there don’t put it on the internet or phone.
Stop the madness. We trusted you to keep our information from being known to others.I knew that Google wasn’t what it claimed to be.
Well–unfortunately almost anything can get hacked or scammed, etc. I don’t have anything to hide–so no big deal here. It’s like–okay—I watched a YouTube video about caring for certain plants, I Google searched the weather forecast, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few items— not really anything interesting if Google tracks me at all.
Of coarse it’s not safe, 1/19/2022 I got hacked, went through my 2FA like it wasn’t there, cleaned out my bank accounts, and stole my Social media accounts, in one week I lost Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, guess who I trusted with storing the logins so I wouldn’t have to dig out the big paßwords every time
Google knows our passwords they can go in our accounts. They put our picture where they want wirhout our permission. I dont trust nothing on the internet or google. You know they are being sued
