Google services is a part of our life in today's tech age. Whatever, you also want to protect your privacy as possible. Google offers all of its services free by selling your data to advertisers but Google also say that data collection is to improve your experience with its services and apps. This is true, it can help you to find any services or any shop easier.

But there was some reports last year over how google was collecting your data - report by the Associated Press. If you turned off location history, google was still collecting your data. So here we showed you how to stop google from tracking your location or search history.

If you are really careful about your privacy than you must do these step and if you not careful about your privacy and tracking then you must be careful about it.
