Nashville: Soon after reports
emerged about how Google continues to monitor a user`s location even if the
location services have been turned off, a new study has claimed that the search
giant also resorts to passive methods of data collection which are often
overlooked.
A
study by Vanderbilt University claims that Android smartphones are collecting
almost 10 times more data than Apple iOS.
In
the study, the researchers have looked at the less obvious ways for Google to
collect data where the user may not be aware of sharing the information.Such
methods include the use of platforms such as Android and Chrome, apps such as
Search, YouTube, Maps, and publisher tools like Google Analytics and AdSense.
