Google records what you search online

Google records what you search online. It knows where you're going, how long you stay there, if you take any photos there. Mobile phones and computer operating systems seem to become more omniscient, and every one years, by recording search and location information, they know you're more than you think.

The two biggest players in the business are Google and Apple.

If you search for things on the internet, such as quilts or pillows, when you browse Facebook, you will see ads for the same product and just browse the Web. Some Internet users may find this very clear-you can find products of different brands that you are more interested in. But it can be seen as a violation of privacy and the use of consumers. With your location set open, it is uncommon to receive a notice from Google asking you about the price of the restaurant you are currently eating. You don't even have to "register" on Facebook to let Google know where you are.

According to Wired. com, Apple was exposed in 2011 and they stored a user's location on an unprotected file. In 2010, Apple explained their data storage to lawmakers. This geographic information is logged only if the Location Services option is turned on. Critics say it is a violation of privacy, and Apple says it shows that they provide faster, more accurate positioning services with GPS.

However, the iPhone has a setup that lets you look at your location history. It can tell you that you often visit work, family, shops, and other places. Samsung devices also have this feature, including your photos taken at those locations. This means that if someone steals your iPhone, they can get information about where you're traveling, where you work, where your home is, and any other place you have your phone.

To avoid this problem, go to the Settings button on your phone, and then go to location settings. Next, just turn off the location feature. According to college. com, google also records every word you enter in the search box, whether or not you click Enter. This also applies to search engines like Firefox and Safari.

Google can even scan and record emails if the email server uses the company. Your email from Yahoo or Hotmail can be scanned, according to college. com, you can delete email but not Google. Even if you type an e-mail message and choose not to send a message, the company can save everything you write.

Google's popular sites, such as YouTube, provide more data, such as when you watch kittens and puppy videos at work. The company keeps track of the pages you visit, the time you visit them, the actions you have done on the page, whether you have purchased something or just clicked, and they record your previous page and your page.

Both Google and Apple have been bogged down by cross-border problems.

In 2012, the Federal Trade Commission imposed a $22.5 million fine on Google illegally tracking people who use Apple's iphone, ipad and Macintosh computers.

In 2010, the FCC found that Google was collecting information, such as passwords, e-mails, browsing history, financial records and more of the never-encrypted Wi-Fi network to use streetscape. They collect such information in more than 30 countries for at least three years. The FCC fined $25,000.
