- duality 8y agoI'm not aware of that either. What API scope would share your location data with a third-party developer? https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/googlescopes https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/googlescope... doesn't turn up anything obvious.
- jimktrains2 8y agoThat would implying you giving access to a 3rd party. I think everyone else is talking about something like Google selling access to said data directly, not via the normal api.
- aorav 8y agoThey don't (sell your data directly), explained by Google itself https://safety.google/privacy/ads-and-data/ https://safety.google/privacy/ads-and-data/ Of course it's up to you how much you trust what they write there.
- xbmcuser 8y agoIt's in Google best interest to not give others the data it collects as it can rent out the results multiple times to multiple customers. Where as giving data means they earn money of it one time.
