Mr. Pichai, is it true that the Android operating system sends Google information every few minutes
detailing the exact location of a smartphone within a few feet,
the speed of movement of the phone, the altitude of the phone,
sufficient to determine what floor of a building the phone is on,
the temperature surrounding the phone and other readings,
and if so, with Americans carrying their phones with them virtually at all times,
doesn't the collection of this volume of detailed information
really mean that Google is compiling information about virtually every movement
an individual with a smartphone is making every hour of every day?
Android is a powerful platform and provides smartphones for over 2 billion people.
And as part of that, it depends on the applications users choose to use.
If you're using a fitness application, which is detecting the number of steps you walk,
you expect it to send that information.
But it's a choice users make. We make it clear.
So the answer to my question, my first question is yes.
Is that correct, that the information that I cited is gathered by Google?
It is.
