An app like Google Maps will remind you to allow access to location if you use it for navigating. \u003cbr/\u003e              If you agree to let it record your location over time, Google Maps will display that history for you in a \"timeline\" that maps out your daily movements.\u003cbr/\u003e              Storing your minute-by-minute travels carries privacy risks and has been used by police to determine the location of suspects - such as a warrant that police in Raleigh, North Carolina, served on Google last year to find devices near a murder scene. \u003cbr/\u003e              So the company will let you \"pause\" a setting called Location History. Google says that will prevent the company from remembering where you've been. \u003cbr/\u003e              Google's support page on the subject states: \"You can turn off Location History at any time. With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              That isn't true. Even with Location History paused, some Google apps automatically store time-stamped location data without asking.\u003cbr/\u003e              For example, Google stores a snapshot of where you are when you merely open its Maps app. \u003cbr/\u003e              Automatic daily weather updates on Android phones pinpoint roughly where you are. And some searches that have nothing to do with location, like \"chocolate chip cookies,\" or \"kids science kits,\" pinpoint your precise latitude and longitude - accurate to the square foot - and save it to your Google account.\u003cbr/\u003e              Storing location data in violation of a user's preferences is wrong, says Frederike Kaltheuner, data privacy lead at Privacy International.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"Many apps require location data to function, there's nothing wrong with this, but you have to be very upfront with what you're doing with that data and you have to allow people to opt out,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"The problem is that the more companies know about you - and location is a very important part of this - the easier it can influence you.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"We should always be suspicious of anybody who processes vast amounts of data, because they can be used against you. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"And it's not just the company you should be worried about. They can be forced to disclose data with a warrant to law enforcement, plus there are many countries around the world where there are no data or privacy protections.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Google says it is being perfectly clear.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"There are a number of different ways that Google may use location to improve people's experience, including: Location History, Web and App Activity, and through device-level Location Services,\" a Google spokesperson said in a statement to the AP. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"We provide clear descriptions of these tools, and robust controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Huge tech companies are under increasing scrutiny over their data practices, following a series of privacy scandals at Facebook and new data-privacy rules recently adopted by the European Union. \u003cbr/\u003e              Critics say Google's insistence on tracking its users' locations stems from its drive to boost advertising revenue.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"There's a discrepancy between what people can understand and what companies are doing,\" claims Kaltheuner.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"And I think the perfect example is you express your choices, you went the extra way and went through the preferences and decided you don't want location to be tracked, and a company is still tracking you. So, it goes beyond the expectation or the reasonable expectation of people.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              The privacy issue affects some two billion users of devices that run Google's Android operating software and hundreds of millions of worldwide iPhone users who rely on Google for maps or search.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"Myself, if I have a chance to disable, I disable everything, that's pretty much what I do at the moment,\" says smartphone user, Claudio Nogueira.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"Any app that I use, there is location in it, happy to use the location, they track when you're using, but after that I don't like them using the location.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              \"I don't think they have the right to collect that kind of data without asking permission,\" says smartphone user, Didem Dayanch.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"I find, especially with the Facebook thing as well so ...
