    Yeah, they recently emailed me a trip report for March. It’s insane.

    Yep. Disable/delete, and wouldn't hurt to have a valid excuse ready about what you are doing where and why, just in case.

    I use google maps to take me everywhere. It’s a great tool. If I disable the wrong thing I may disable my ability to use it.

    We’ve become so paranoid. That data is nothing more than one byte buried in countless exabytes of data. A virtual needle in a haystack.

    Relax and enjoy life. Big brother doesn’t give a rats ass about most of us.

    On the other hand, Fancy’s advice is sound. Always have a valid excuse.

    You should also turn off voice recording. Every time you say the "g" word it starts recording you even if you say it in casual conversation near your phone/device. You can find the logs of what google records in the settings. Also look through ALL your apps settings and turn off permissions that app doesn't need. ✌
