Google clarifies how it keeps users' location data

The details: When a user tells Google to turn off Location History, other Google services, like Search and Maps, are still tracking your movements.

• The help pages previously stated, "With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.”
• They now tell users that when they turn Location History off, "This setting does not affect other location services on your device....some location data may be saved as part of your activity on other services, like Search and Maps.”
