    When you add your google account on your phone, it tracks every app you use, with a timestamp.(you can turn it off, but it’s more of a formality,they still track you) It can track your location, video and audio recordings of you as well.

    I randomly found this out today, I feel like an incompetent idiot. I wasn’t aware of it, and I found data recordings dating back years, including calls made from maps and general areas seen on maps , calendar inputs not synced to google calendar.I might make a separate, more detailed post about this, I just don’t know on what instance to post it.

    Edit : I made a post on You Should Know (on lemmy.world) about this.
