Google is monitoring you
Where is Google! Imagine being able to spend a day without Google or Google's product or service is becoming more difficult.
From Google Maps to YouTube, we're using some or the other Google to sit-down.
Statistics show how much Google is impacting our daily lives. More than 100 million people are searching on Google every month, about 200 million people are using YouTube every month, at the same time about 120 million people are using Gmail.
The vast number of users are telling that it is easy to get people's personal information easy to day by making it easier for Google. But the people who are using Google or Google's products, are Google collecting their information only? Or are those who are not Google users, their data is being stored in Google's database? Vanderbilt University researcher Douglas C Schmidt tried to find answers to this question.
To answer this question first, you need to know how Google collects information about their users. When a user is opening or logging accounts with their personal information in Gmail, YouTube or any other Google service, then all of his personal data is being stored in Google's database. This is the active way of collecting Google data.
But there is another 'indirect' method of collecting Google data, which many users do not know. Google is handling user data through apps or advertisements that are active in the background of the mobile.
With the help of data collection through these two ways, the real-life information of the people is also going on in Google's hands. And they are making separate profiles for everyone with these information submitted.
Research says that, by Google's two-thirds of the information it collects all day, this 'indirect' means. Suppose you are not using Google or Google's products, but still Google can easily store your personal information in their repository. Schmidt wanted to do research on how to do it.
Suppose you go ear in ear headphones or listen to music or go online to read the news in a news line. If for some reason the GPS technology is launched on your phone, then you can be sure that in this short time your personal preferences and information have been stored in Google's database. Using GPS, Google Map will know your location and your phone's IP address will also be known to them.
Based on the news you click on, Google will make an initial idea about your choice or taste. From then on, whenever you go online to find the news, you will be surprised to see these types of news coming forward in front of you. This is possible because you have unknowingly created a profile of your liking by Google.
Not only that, Google will enrich your profile based on the song you heard. From then on, whenever you hear a song, you will see that same type of song or the lyrical ad coming in front of you. It is possible that Google is collecting information about you.
Now suppose you sit in the office and think about what food can be eaten at noon. Without difficulty, you ordered the food from a restaurant through a mobile app. Well, Google again collected information about you.
Buy food from a shop, buy some kind of food - everything will record Google. From now on, whenever you go to order meals online, you will see that the same type of meal is coming in front of you. And if you pay the price for a reason with the Google Pay service, then your credit card or debit card-related information will also be stored on Google.
Then, on the way back from office, you called a car from the Ride Sharing Company through the mobile app and returned home to watch videos of football match on YouTube in the UK. By this, once more you have given your information to Google. From now on, when you enter the video, you will see many different videos of football matches in front of you.
The researcher Douglas C Schmidt said, "Most of Google's data collection happens when a user is connected directly to a Google product."
Google Chrome is one of the most important tools for collecting Google Chrome. Nowadays, many people use Google Chrome on their smartphones or laptops. Statistics say more than 200 million people use Google Chrome in the month.
This Google Chrome makes a complete overview of users' online activities and stores them in Google's database. Even those phones do not have Google operating systems (like Apple's iOS), they also collect data in their own way.
That means you do not use Google or do research, research says, you have no escape from Google!
