Here are six kinds of information that Google has admitted to collecting about you and everyone else who uses their services

DEVICE INFORMATION:   Google knows exactly what type of device you’re using when you check your Gmail or browse for something on the Web. But Google knows far more than just the type of device you’re using. It can gather device-specific information such as hardware model, operating system version and mobile network information.

LOGIN INFORMATION: Anytime you use Google’s services to view content, it can collect and store data in the server logs. This information includes what you searched for, the phone numbers of friends that you called and the length of time you talked to them.

LOCATION INFORMATION:   Google has location-based services, which are handy when you’re on the go and want to be connected with local businesses. And Google loves when you use them because they can collect and process information about your location using GPS signals sent by your mobile device.

UNIQUE APPLICATION NUMBERS: If you are someone who loves installing apps, trying them out and then uninstalling them, tread carefully. The numbers and information from the apps you install may be sent to Google when you install or uninstall the service. It may also be sent when the service contacts the company’s servers for things like automated updates.

LOCAL STORAGE: Google may collect and store information on your device using browser web storage such as HTML5 and app data caches. They even have the right (thanks to the handy privacy policy) to collect and store “personal information.”

COOKIES AND ANONYMOUS IDENTIFIERS:   Google uses unspecified technologies when you visit a Google service, as well as when you visit one of Google’s partners. This may include sending one or two cookies or anonymous identifiers to your device when you interact with their services.
