Beware Google can collect your location data without permission

Beware google can collect your location data even when GPRS and other location service is turned off. Google has confirmed that it has collected the location data from Android device even when the service was disabled.

After this confirmation regulators in South Korea summoned representatives of the tech giant this week for questioning.



The probe in South Korea follows a report by Quartz which found that Android phones have been collecting the addresses of nearby mobile towers-even when location services are disabled -and sending that data back to Google.

By this the privacy of a user can be invaded by Google and the unit of Alphabet behind Android. A large amount of private data can be collected without the user consent.
