Your Android phone is tracking you

“While everyone is crying foul that the iPhone is tracking users, people should be aware that their Android phone has been doing the same thing.

Yes, it seems like Google’s little green robot is also collecting user data every few seconds and sending it off to Google. Data which includes GPS location, Wi-Fi hotspots the phone has encountered, and the device ID. The difference between the data that Google is harvesting versus what is going on with the iPhone is that users have to opt in for their data to be collected.”
