AP Exclusive: Google tracks your movements, like it or not


So I ran across this article in my twitter feed.

Very interesting read if you are someone interested in the subject of privacy.

I went to the myactivity.google.com site and found a link to "download archives." I generated the request and an hour later got an email with links to download the .zip files.

ALL of my google settings are at the "do not track" and the most private, but I still was sent links to 400+ GB of archived data.

Quite amazing and alarming.

UPDATE: Looks like the archive also included copies of videos I had uploaded, which contributed to the actual files size.
